GRMC’s Response to Former Employee’s Lawsuit

(Tuesday, October 14, 2025; Dededo, Guam) – Guam Regional Medical City (GRMC) is aware of the lawsuit recently filed by a former employee. This is a personnel matter, which is now in court. We cannot comment on the specific allegations, but we want to assure our patients and the community that the allegations in the lawsuit are baseless and untrue. Two government agencies have previously reviewed the allegations andneither agency found merit in the former employee’s claims.

GRMC is unwavering in its commitment to the highest standards of patient care, safety, and integrity. We would never allow the behavior described in the complaint. Last week, GRMC successfully completed its fourth re-accreditation survey by The Joint Commission – the nation’s leading healthcare accrediting body with a mission to enable and affirm the highest standards of healthcare quality and safety for all. A team of three surveyors from the Joint Commission spent four days in GRMC conducting a comprehensive, hospital-wide review. Their evaluation included extensive time in our Pharmacy and Cancer Center, among other departments.

We are proud to report that the Joint Commission surveyors’ findings were overwhelmingly positive, and we believe this was our strongest reaccreditation visit to date. GRMC has maintained continuous accreditation by The Joint Commission and certification by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) since January 8, 2015.

Our Cancer Center remains a source of deep pride for GRMC and an essential resource for our island community—delivering high-quality, compassionate care to patients across Guam and the region, here at home.

We respect the legal process and remain confident that it will reflect the integrity and quality of our organization. We thank our patients, staff, and the broader community for their continued trust and support.
