Scrub Life Cares, a prominent public health NGO in Antigua and Barbuda, has announced the 5th Annual Grow With The Flo Women & Girls Health Expo, scheduled for Saturday, May 23rd, 2026. This event coincides with the organization’s fifth anniversary in November, marking a significant milestone in its mission to promote menstrual equity and comprehensive reproductive and sexual health literacy. Since its inception in 2021, the Expo has grown into a cornerstone community health event, uniting women, girls, families, educators, and health professionals in a day dedicated to dignity, access, and education. Tanya Ambrose, MPH, Founder and CEO of Scrub Life Cares, emphasized the event’s importance, stating, ‘This year celebrates the growth of a movement shaped by our community and partners. It’s a testament to the power of prioritizing dignity, equity, and education.’ Over the years, the Expo has expanded its reach, attracting increasing participation from men and boys, reflecting a broader societal recognition of menstrual and reproductive health as community-wide concerns. The 2026 Expo will adopt a more family-centered approach, offering programs that include maternal and child health education, prenatal and postpartum support, breastfeeding resources, and family bonding activities. This expansion aligns with Scrub Life Cares’ commitment to addressing public health needs across all life stages. Through its advocacy, research, and community engagement, the organization has established itself as a leader in advancing health equity in Antigua and Barbuda. As it celebrates its fifth anniversary, Scrub Life Cares invites families, educators, health professionals, and community leaders to join the 2026 Expo, promising an event that is bigger, bolder, and more impactful than ever.
