Shaping the island’s health & welfare
DPHSS is a one-stop public agency combining health care with social welfare services.
Public Health Services & Clinics
DPHSS’s Division of Public Health maintains regional health clinics (e.g., Northern Region in Dededo, Southern Region in Inalåhan) that offer prenatal/post-natal care, women’s health (OB/GYN), well-baby & child health, immunizations, adolescent & adult care, minor surgery & wound repair, tuberculosis testing & directly-observed therapy.
The agency also supports vital statistics, communicable disease control, public health education and outreach.
Social Services & Welfare Assistance
Through its Division of Public Welfare and associated bureaus, DPHSS offers services such as income‐based benefits, public assistance, child care regulation/licensing, and support for vulnerable populations.
Child Care & Early Childhood Support
DPHSS houses a Bureau of Child Care Services (BCCS) which licenses and regulates child care providers on Guam, ensuring safe, quality child‐care environments.
Senior Citizens & Medicare/Insurance Assistance
DPHSS provides programs for senior citizens, including Medicare‐related assistance like the Senior Medicare Patrol in Guam.
Regulatory & Environmental Health Oversight
Under its Division of Environmental Health and other regulatory arms, DPHSS enforces public health rules, inspects facilities, licenses programs (childcare, welfare providers, etc.), and works to maintain safe environments (which underpins broader public health).
