History

The project to construct the Guam Regional Medical City (GMRC) was first announced in 2010 with actual construction work for the hospital beginning in 2012. The GRMC was intended to open on January 2014, but the opening date was rescheduled at a later date due to various reasons including construction delays.[2]

The GRMC opened in July 2015, becoming the first private hospital in Guam.[2] It is also reportedly the first Filipino-owned hospital on United States territory.[3]

In 2019, TMC opened a referral office to cater to patients seeking medical treatment outside Guam.[4]
