GRMC Brings Gastroenterology Experts to the Micronesia Mall for FREE Community Outreach Event: “Your Gut, Our Focus”

(Monday, December 8, 2025; Dededo, Guam) – Guam Regional Medical City (GRMC) is excited to invite the community to its upcoming outreach event, “Your Gut, Our Focus: From Digestive Issues to Advanced Diagnostics”, on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 10 AM to 12 PM at the Micronesia Mall Center Court. This free outreach aims to help residents better understand the importance of digestive health and the advanced tools now available on the island to diagnose and treat gastrointestinal conditions.

Gastroenterology (GI) is the field of medicine that focuses on the digestive system—including the stomach, intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Digestive health plays a key role in overall wellness, affecting everything from nutrient absorption and immunity to energy levels and quality of life. Many GI symptoms such as chronic heartburn, abdominal pain, bloating, or changes in bowel habits are commonly overlooked, but early evaluation can prevent more serious conditions, improve comfort, and enhance day-to-day living.

FEATURED PRESENTATION & Q&A

• Dr. Supannee “Jill” Rassameehiran, GRMC Gastroenterologist
• Dr. Jason Baker, ANX Robotics
• Valent Soisuvarn, GI Digital

These experts will discuss common digestive issues, explain how the GI system works, and highlight advanced diagnostic tools that help detect problems early. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a live Q&A to ask questions and learn directly from GI specialists.

FREE SCREENINGS, GIVEAWAYS & GRAND PRIZE

Participants will enjoy:

• FREE Vitals: Blood pressure and blood sugar
• Informational booths hosted by GRMC departments and community partners
• Raffle prizes, including the Grand Prize: a 55” Hisense Ultra High-Definition Smart TV
• Educational materials, activities, and helpful resources

“Digestive health is essential for maintaining overall wellbeing, yet many people wait until symptoms worsen before seeking help,” says Dr. Rassameehiran. “This outreach gives our community the tools to understand their GI health, recognize early warning signs, and explore treatment options that can greatly improve their daily comfort and long-term health.”
