About Caribbean Wellness Day

Every year, on the second Saturday in September, CARICOM Member States commemorate Caribbean Wellness Day (CWD). In 2025, CWD will be celebrated on Saturday 13th September, ushering in a five-year (2025-2029) theme cycle: “Engage, Empower, Elevate.” A look into the sub-theme of 2025, “Working together to improve health and well-being for all,” depicts a unified health promotion across the Caribbean region, aiming populations toward improved personal lifestyle choices, which are enabled when we collectively address the individual and communal threat of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). NCDs such as diabetes and cardiovascular illnesses, and chronic respiratory diseases, impact the health and well-being of ALL Caribbean people. On Saturday 20th September, the Ministry of Health will officially commemorate Caribbean Wellness Day with our “Step into Wellness” 5K Run and Walk, followed by a Health Fair. This engaging initiative is our day to elevate and empower each other, working together to improve health and well-being for all.
