Time flies as is it already the holiday season and it looks like we will have another tropcial winter here on Guam!

Guam's Local Program Chapter is becoming more active as members from Navy hospital and Air Force clinic share common interests in building Guam's healthcare community. Please join me in welcoming all of our new members! We are looking forward to see your contribution in advancing our local Chapter.

Recently, GLPC was able to video teleconference Hawaii-Pacific Chapter for the Leadership Bootcamp. We had an outstanding turnout from both military and civilian healthcare leaders. Everyone was incredibly grateful for the opportunity, espeically for the bonus time at the end with the Admiral! I am deeply humbled by the support and participation, especially with the off hour with the time difference. Military members are excited to come together as a community, especially with our transition towards Defense Health Agency, Quadruple Aim-improved readiness, better health, better care, and lower cost.

Elections for positions for Hawaii Pacific Chapter is coming up and GLPC turnover will soon follow! I will keep everybody updated as I have already a few interested members!
