The Problem

As of 2019, the top three causes of death in Guam are ischemic heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer — all non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It's worth noting that NCDs are largely caused by unhealthy behaviors: poor diet, tobacco use, and lack of physical activity. With a proper lifestyle and the right attitude toward health, these risk factors can be significantly reduced.

TGF's Prevention and Education program encourages Guamanians to take charge of their health and focus on disease prevention rather than a late-stage reaction.

Through our “Let's Talk” forums and preventive healthcare services, we encourage positive lifestyle changes — covering topics that encompass our overall health, conducted in different parts of our community.
