Health City Cayman Islands has rebranded its flagship youth programme as Health City Explorers to strengthen the initiative’s connection to the medical facility and enhance brand recognition among local families.
Launched in 2014, the original Healthcare Explorers “initiative has introduced thousands of Caymanian students to careers in healthcare and the life sciences, providing more than 67,000 educational opportunities through lectures, tours, workshops and shadowing experiences”, Health City said in a press release.
The aim is to create a “unified look and feel across Health City and its brands” – Health City Cayman Islands, Health City at Camana Bay, Health City Cares and HCCI Connect.
“Since its inception, Healthcare Explorers has inspired hundreds of Cayman’s youth to explore the world of medicine and healthcare innovation,” Shomari Scott, chief business officer at Health City, said in the release.
“By rebranding to Health City Explorers, we strengthen the programme’s connection to Health City while continuing to spark curiosity, build knowledge, and nurture the next generation of healthcare leaders.”
The programme, for students from primary school through university, aims to foster interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and healthcare professions across the Cayman Islands, ensuring a pipeline of talent for the region’s growing medical sector.
Health City Explorers has also expanded its educational impact through a catalogue of 24 on-demand videos, benchmarked to the national curriculum and delivered by the institution’s consultants, the press release said. Since their launch, these videos have been viewed more than 50,000 times by students across the Cayman Islands.
For the 2025–2026 academic year, the series includes its first fully animated video, ‘Becky Learns About Hearing’ (for Years 1 and 2), and a new partially animated release, ‘Facts About Our Skeleton’ (for Years 3 and 4), with the goal of making complex medical topics accessible and engaging for young learners.
