As Minister responsible for Health, she provides strategic oversight for national health policy, public health initiatives, healthcare services, and programmes aimed at addressing the most pressing health challenges facing the nation. Her leadership has emphasized prevention, health promotion, equity of access, and sustainable approaches to improving health outcomes for all Caymanians.
From the earliest stages of the ManKind – Cayman Islands Men’s Health & Lifestyle Initiative, Minister Ebanks-Wilks recognized both the need for and the potential impact of a national movement dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of men. Her encouragement, endorsement, and willingness to engage with the vision helped transform an idea into a reality. The support provided by both the Minister and the Ministry of Health has been instrumental in the development and successful launch of the Cayman Islands Men’s Health & Lifestyle Summit (CIMHALS).
Minister Ebanks-Wilks understood from the outset that the challenges affecting men; including chronic disease, mental health concerns, and low engagement with preventive healthcare, have far-reaching implications for families, communities, workplaces, and the national healthcare system. Her support reflects a commitment to innovative, community-driven solutions that complement broader national health objectives.
The Cayman Islands Men’s Health & Lifestyle Summit aligns closely with the Ministry's priorities of promoting preventive healthcare, encouraging healthy lifestyles, improving health literacy, addressing mental health challenges, and reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases. Through the Ministry’s partnership and support, CIMHALS has emerged as a powerful platform for education, empowerment, and community engagement.
As the Minister responsible for Health, Environment and Sustainability, Hon. Katherine Ebanks-Wilks brings a valuable national leadership perspective to the conversation on men’s health and wellness.

Minister Ebanks-Wilks will deliver the Opening Remarks at the Cayman Islands Men’s Health & Lifestyle Summit (CIMHALS) 2026, officially launching a day of dialogue, education, inspiration, and action. Her presence reflects not only her role as Minister for Health, but also her longstanding support for the vision and mission of CIMHALS and her belief that healthier men contribute to stronger families, healthier communities, and a stronger nation.
