The GHC\u2019s purpose is to respond to the needs of homeless families and individuals by providing support through awareness, education, and advocacy. The GHC concluded its point-in-time survey last Jan. 28, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>MASO public relations officer Cassandra Chang shared her teams\u2019 duties during their volunteer time. \u201cWe interviewed numerous families and individuals, asking them questions in regards to their household size, ethnicity, and living conditions, which will give a clearer sense of the homeless population in Guam. We also provided supply\/food bags to those families and individuals that participated in the survey,\u201d said Chang.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 MASO was formed to enable medical assisting students to enhance and demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and professionalism required by employers and patients; continually demonstrate professionalism in the community and on the Guam Community College campus; and protect the student\u2019s right to learn, and promote effective, efficient health care delivery through the optimal use of multi-skilled medical assistant students. MASO is intended to help students maintain the following core values of the medical assistant:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Actively participate in the delivery of quality healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Promote patient safety and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Contribute to the positive healthcare experience for patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Demonstrate integrity and respect and protect confidentiality.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Advocate the essential value of certification and continued education.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Embrace change, growth, and learning.<\/p>\n<p>Those interested in providing help to our neighbors in need may go to www.guamhomelesscoalition.org for more information.<strong> (PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANGILAO, Guam\u2014Guam Community College student members of the Medical Assistant Students Organization recently volunteered in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":361504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[51,4469],"class_list":["post-361501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-guam","tag-mangilao"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
