Carla Haddock is from a family well known in Guam for giving back to the community. Her grandfather was the first elected governor of Guam, her uncle was also governor, and her mother is currently serving as a senator in the Guam Legislature. Carla’s path of service to the people took her on a different path towards medicine. In 2002, Carla graduated with a BA in Sociology and Pre-Professional Medical Studies at the prestigious University of Notre Dame. She earned a second Bachelor degree in Nursing from the University of Guam. While simultaneously working at GRMC and the Marianas Physicians Group, Carla earned a Master of Science in Nursing and then her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at the University of Alabama in July 2020.

Carla first joined GRMC as a Family Nurse Practitioner caring for patients in different departments, including the Emergency Room and the Employee Wellness Clinic. As an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Carla began focusing on our elderly patients who have chronic or episodic illnesses and/or acute medical needs. Today, Carla is part of GRMC’s Cardiology Department in the Heart Failure Clinic, where she is part of a multidisciplinary team that treats heart failure patients.

Carla is a member of the American Nurse Credentialing Center, the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, Family Nurse Practitioner, the American Nurse Credentialing Center, Cardiac Vascular Nursing, and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, Emergency Nurse Practitioner. Carla also serves in the United States Naval Reserve, Nurse Corp as a Lieutenant Commander.
