HEALTHY ENCORES CARRIBEAN (HEC)
Established in 2006, Healthy Encores is a continuous health initiative dedicated to reducing health disparities. Each July, Healthy Encores in partnership with the Lifestyle Festival, organize an annual Health Awareness Day. The event primarily focuses on diabetes education and screening. Other important topics covered are heart health, prostate health, internal health, chiropractic care, fitness, nutrition and mental wellness. Health professionals and volunteers offer educational seminars and health screenings to both residents and visitors to the U.S. Virgin Islands. This initiative addresses a critical need for preventive healthcare and access to quality medical services within the local community. The success of the event is driven by the dedication of volunteers, partner organizations and support from corporate and individual sponsors. Exhibitors share valuable health information and distribute giveaways to participants. The Health Weekend wraps up with the Wellness for Diabetes Walk.
