Help Stop Calendar Items from Appearing on the Home Screen

I have Oreo 8.1 running on a Google Pixel (1st gen.)

How can I stop Calendar items from appearing on my home screen?

There's no better way to start the day than to pickup my phone and the top line on my home screen says "Colonoscopy at noon."
 
When you say calendar items appearing at the top of the homescreen, do you mean the "at a glance" widget (clock, weather, calendar) on the Pixel Launcher homescreen? If so, long press on the widget to get access to its preferences, then you can turn off showing calendar reminders.

If it's some other widget, then something similar will apply. The difference is that other widgets can be removed, while that one is just part of the homescreen with the Pixel launcher (one of the reasons I don't use that launcher - too inflexible, and I'm not interested in some corporation deciding how I want to organise my screens and not give me the option of disagreeing).
 
So, as I suggested (long press on it to get preferences, then turn it off). ;)

Funny thing is that last time I tested it it didn't show appointments that were very far in the future, so I'd only get a short notification of the appointment that way. It was that, plus only showing appointments from one calendar, that made it not useful to me.
