The Guam Regional Medical City has earned its 4th Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval for Hospital Accreditation and has also received recertification from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. 

The TJC reaccreditation followed an extensive triennial hospital-wide survey conducted Oct. 7 to Oct. 10, 2025.

The TJC accreditation process is one of the most rigorous and respected healthcare quality evaluations in the nation. Hospitals must demonstrate strong performance across hundreds of standards related to patient safety, quality of care, leadership, emergency readiness, and organizational performance. 

Achieving this recognition is not easily accomplished, and maintaining accreditation across multiple cycles reflects a deep, ongoing commitment to excellence in healthcare delivery.

“This reaccreditation reflects the hard work, passion, and professionalism of our GRMC family,” said GRMC CEO Dr. Alexander “Beau” Wielaard. “Surveyors shared how impressed they were with our staff — from patient care and performance improvement to facilities and emergency management. Our team continues to demonstrate commitment to excellence in every area of service.”

One surveyor noted, “You started a hospital to address the lack of specialty care on the island and to serve the people of Guam — and that is a fantastic and admirable vision. You’ve accomplished so much.”
