The Guam Community Health Centers—comprising the Northern and Southern Region Community Health Centers (NRCHC and SRCHC)—are federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) operating under the Bureau of Primary Care Services (BPCS), a division of the Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS). Governed by a community-based Board of Directors and led by the BPCS Administrator (who serves as Executive Director for both centers), these facilities deliver comprehensive primary care to Guam’s most vulnerable populations. Funded through HRSA Section 330 grants and adhering to federal FQHC requirements, including FTCA malpractice coverage, the centers prioritize reducing health disparities among low-income families (at or below 200% of the federal poverty level), the uninsured/underinsured, and medically underserved communities, homeless individuals, and migrant workers. The BPCS mission emphasizes accessible, culturally competent care, health equity, and community partnerships, aligning with its vision to empower patients and improve population health outcomes across Guam.

 

The Northern and Southern Region Community Health Centers (NRCHC/SRCHC) deliver comprehensive primary healthcare services encompassing acute outpatient care, preventive services, and integrated behavioral health programs. A multidisciplinary team of family practitioners, pediatricians, internists, nurse practitioners, and mental health professionals provides full-spectrum care including prenatal and postpartum services, women's health, pediatric and adolescent care, adult and geriatric medicine, chronic disease management, and minor surgical procedures. The centers feature dedicated mental health programs offering counseling, substance abuse treatment, and psychological evaluations, with care coordination services ensuring seamless integration with primary care.

These services specifically target vulnerable populations including children from birth to age 11 (including those with special healthcare needs), at-risk adolescents, women of childbearing age, pregnant teens, seniors aged 55 and older, homeless individuals, public health patients, and marginalized communities including Micronesian and Marshallese migrants.
