(Friday, October 13, 2023; Dededo, Guam) Effective Sunday, October 15, 2023, Guam Regional Medical City (GRMC) will no longer permit visitors under the age of 12, except for Comfort Care patients. The revision of visitation guidelines serves as an added measure of caution towards the safety of patients and children in clinical areas.
The following information reflects GRMC’s current Visitation Guidelines. Please be advised that children under the age of 12 visiting Comfort Care patients, as well as visitors for any level of care under 18, must be supervised by an accompanying adult (18 years of age or older) at all times. Additionally, visitors under 18 cannot be left unattended in the patient room; the patient does not qualify as adult supervision. All COVID-19 positive patients are still not permitted any visitors, except for pediatric patients in the Emergency Department, where one parent/guardian may be present.
