The Guam Regional Medical City kicked-off their seventh anniversary earlier this month and they started it off by having a “Wave with GRMC” at the Micronesian Mall intersection in Dededo. But that wasn’t all, they also had catered breakfast for all GRMC employees. But what other GRMC-related events can residents partake in?

Charlotte Huntsman, GRMC's chief human resources officer, told KUAM News, "We’ll have, on the 21st, we’ll be participating in the Liberation Day Parade. As well as, on the 25th of July, we are celebrating with our providers, and community providers and then on the 30th, we have our health fair."

Vice president of corporate affairs Eric Plinske detailed more on the health fair GRMC will be having. "We’re going to do a community health fair, we do one usually every year. I think COVID restricted us last year in being able to pull one off, but Micronesia Mall center court, on Saturday the 30th is going to be 11am until 3pm where we’ll be doing free testing like glucose, things like that and sharing information about our services. A chance for the community to meet our doctors and do little giveaways and competitions to make things fun," he said.

The GRMC board also gave a rundown of what they’ll be doing for this year’s Liberation Day Parade. VP of support services Bernie Lobaton explained, "We’re actually going to be side-by-side partnership with the the Mayor of Dededo, Mayor (Melissa) Savares and then from there we are going to have like a mini floats. We’re going to have four trucks with all the GRMC letters and all the staff is going to participate and walk with banners and we’re going to give a lot of giveaways."

GRMC president and CEO Alan Funtanilla gave thanks all around to island residents and their staff for being such great partners throughout the seven years GRMC has been on Guam. "First of all, we thank our patients, our families, our island community and the people of Guam in general for allowing us the opportunity to serve them," he said.

"As you know, seven years we opened our doors with the intent of being the premier healthcare institution organization for Guam and the Micronesian region and I think we’ve lived up to that by providing much needed services for our community."
