Todu Guam Foundation founders

Welcome to the Todu Guam Foundation (TGF)!

Established in 2016, TGF is an esteemed 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to addressing health disparities and promoting health equity on the beautiful island of Guam.

Our journey began under the visionary leadership of former Senator Dennis G. Rodriguez, Jr., who served as Chairman of the Committee on Health in the 31st to 34th Guam Legislature. Recognizing the alarming health disparities and inequities prevalent in our community, Senator Rodriguez envisioned a transformative approach to ensuring access to healthcare for the most vulnerable populations.

In pursuit of this vision, Senator Rodriguez, his wife Lena, and their family took a groundbreaking step by inaugurating Guam’s first mobile health clinic. This milestone was accompanied by a remarkable medical outreach program, which provided essential healthcare services to uninsured and underinsured residents of Guam, entirely free of charge.

Inspired by the success of these early initiatives, the Todu Guam Foundation was officially established. Since then, TGF has garnered widespread recognition, not only locally but also nationally, for its unwavering commitment to its mission of delivering vital primary healthcare, education, and support to our community.

At TGF, we firmly believe in breaking down barriers to healthcare access, empowering individuals, and advocating for health equity. Through strategic collaborations, community partnerships, and a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, we strive to create a healthier, more equitable future for all residents of Guam.

Todu Guam Mobile Clinic

The Beginning of Todu Guam Foundation

In July 2016, with over 30 volunteers, we had our first outreach at the Paradise Fitness Center parking lot in Hagatna. Over 100 people came out to get their immunizations and consultations, among others. This was the first time our Mobile Care Clinic, our pioneer program, got into action. Inspired by the success of this community outreach, we held several more on the island until in 2017, Todu Guam Foundation was born. But it was only the beginning.

So for every person who’s had to choose between food or healthcare; For every child who is unable to play sports because his family cannot afford a physical; For every woman who cannot get a regular pap smear because she’s uninsured; For anyone in Guam who has ever needed medical care but was unable to get one, we see you. Todu Guam is here for you.

Our Growing Impact

Watch our roots expand as we continue bringing health equity to Guam.
