DEDEDO, Guam\u2014<\/strong>Guam Regional Medical City recently partnered up with the University of Guam to procure replacement furniture for St. Dominic\u2019s Senior Care Home in Barrigada Heights. The devastation of Typhoon Mawar left the senior home deficient in supplies and with several damages to the facilities and patients\u2019 properties, including furniture.<\/p>\n

GRMC staff\u2014Patient educator Angelika Beyond and Social Services manager Tasi Taitano\u2014discovered that UOG was giving away dormitory furniture that sustained minor water damage and forwarded this information to St. Dominic\u2019s acting administrator Kate Keisling, who later contacted UOG Residence Halls director Mark Mendiola. After some correspondence with Keisling and Mendiola, GRMC chief nursing officer Jennifer R. Cruz coordinated with GRMC warehouse staff to help transport the furniture from UOG to St. Dominic\u2019s, which prompted several trips.<\/p>\n

\u201cGRMC is more than happy to assist in any way we can to our man\u00e5mko at St. Dominic\u2019s. It\u2019s unfortunate that their facilities and their supplies were heavily impacted by the typhoon, so it\u2019s imperative that we lend a hand to our community partners in need, especially through challenging times like this,\u201d said Cruz.<\/p>\n

Keisling shared, \u201cJennifer Cruz and the team at GRMC have been the greatest source of support for St Dominic\u2019s Senior Care Home during and post-Typhoon Mawar. She\u2019s advocated to refill our reserve tank to keep our resident stable, provided resources for crisis management, and donated supplies. Jen Cruz was incredibly gracious in coordinating with Mark Mendiola from UOG to donate dorm furniture to replace what was damaged during Typhoon Mawar, even lending GRMC\u2019s box truck and warehouse crew to get the wardrobes to St. Dominic\u2019s. We are immeasurably blessed, humbled, and grateful for all the ways GRMC supports St. Dominic\u2019s in caring for Guam\u2019s man\u00e5mko.\u201d<\/p>\n

St. Dominic\u2019s Senior Care Home continues to accept donations from the community. According to Keisling, the patients\u2019 current needs include: 3-in-1 shampoo\/conditioner\/bodywash, liquid body wash, isopropyl alcohol, Cavilon lotion, and electric shavers. Hygiene donations and non-perishable items can be left at the front. For perishable items, please contact St. Dominic\u2019s at (671) 632-9370.
