Caribbean Wellness Day 2025: Building Healthy Communities, One Choice at a Time
Nassau, The Bahamas – September 13 2025
Today, The Bahamas joins nations across the region in celebrating Caribbean Wellness Day, a regional initiative by CARICOM and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) that promotes healthy living and community wellbeing.
This year’s theme, “Our Health, Our Wealth: Building a Resilient Caribbean,” reminds us that the choices we make each day — what we eat, how we move, and how we manage stress — shape not only our own lives but the health of our nation.
Non-communicable diseases remain a major challenge in The Bahamas, with more than 70 percent of deaths in the Caribbean linked to conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Yet many of these are preventable through small, consistent lifestyle changes and greater access to care.
Dr. Adrian Fox, Co-Founder of the Fox Foundation, shares,
“Wellness is not a luxury; it’s the foundation of a strong nation. When our people are healthy, our communities thrive. Caribbean Wellness Day is a reminder that the power to change starts with each of us.”
Across The Bahamas, health walks, fitness events, and community fairs are taking place to mark the day — encouraging Bahamians to move more, eat better, and take charge of their wellbeing.
As we observe Caribbean Wellness Day, the Fox Foundation encourages everyone to make health a daily habit: drink more water, take a walk, check your blood pressure, rest when needed, and support those around you.
Because when we choose wellness together, we build a stronger Bahamas. 💛
