Live Well: Events in New York & Nationwide

 The Consulate General of Barbados in New York is joining fellow CARICOM consulates—including Guyana, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago—to form a team for the American Cancer Society’s 

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Central Park on Sunday, October 18, 2026. Together, they will walk in support of breast cancer awareness, survivors, and the search for a cure. 

 Community members are invited to join the CARICOM team for unity, hope, and support for everyone affected by breast cancer. 

 The cost of breast cancer care can be significant and often extends beyond treatment itself. Medical bills, insurance costs, prescription expenses, and time away from work can add another layer of stress.  But you don't have to navigate these challenges alone.  

Join us on Oct 21, 2026, at 5:00 PM for a practical webinar featuring experts who will share resources, strategies, and concrete steps to help you better manage the financial side of breast cancer care.   Have questions? Bring them with you — our experts will answer your questions live.

 On Wednesday, October 14, from 6 PM - 9 PM: An evening of real stories, expert insight and important conversations about heart health, ATTR-CM, early diagnosis and treatment.  

An event designed for patients, family members, care partners, healthcare professionals, and community members to learn, ask questions, hear real experiences, and better understand why recognizing symptoms and seeking an early diagnosis can make a difference.

The evening will also feature a special screening of: “Don’t Pass on Your Heart Health: Real Stories. Real Talk. Recognizing ATTR-CM”
