DPHSS has secured the necessary funding to sustain these vital programs and continues to work collaboratively with the Mayors’ Council of Guam (MCOG), which manages the day-to-day operations of the senior centers.

This measure ensures that services for our Manåmko’ remain uninterrupted while both parties finalize the MOU.
