The Health Fair is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 20, 2026, and is part of the events set for Caribbean Wellness Month 2026.

The Ministry of Health has shared information about the Men's Health Fair on its official Facebook page, underscoring the importance of men's health in the community.
On its post, the Ministry shared, "Caribbean Wellness Month is about "Engaging, Empowering and Elevating" our health and the Grand Bay Health Team is making sure the men of our communities are part of the conversation! This is your opportunity to get informed, get checked and take charge of your health."
The Ministry went on to encourage the men to participate, noting that knowledge and early detection can make a meaningful difference to their health and well-being.
"Men, don’t wait until something feels wrong to pay attention to your health. Knowledge, early detection and healthy choices can make a difference. Bring a friend. Encourage a brother. Tell your partner. Let’s get our men talking, checking and taking action!" wrote the Ministry.
