Guam Regional Medical City has brought on Dr. Joseph Herring, a diagnostic radiologist with advanced fellowship training in body imaging.
Herring is now providing full-time radiologic services at GRMC, a major step forward in strengthening timely access to imaging and diagnostic support for patients across Guam, the hospital said in a media release.
“I’m excited to provide full-time radiology services on Guam and support both patients and providers with timely, accurate imaging that helps guide the best possible care,” Herring said in a statement. “It’s an honor to contribute to GRMC’s mission and strengthen access to high-quality diagnostic services for the island.”
Herring earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Washington School of Medicine and completed extensive postgraduate training, including an internal medicine residency at the University of Florida College of Medicine.
He completed diagnostic radiology residency training at the University of Texas Medical Branch and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons/Harlem Hospital Center, followed by a Body Imaging Fellowship at the University of Washington Department of Radiology.
“We are proud to welcome Dr. Herring to Guam Regional Medical City,” said Frosch Lloyd, GRMC Radiology manager. “Having a diagnostic radiologist providing full-time services on-site is an important step forward for our patients and our medical teams. Dr. Herring’s expertise strengthens our ability to deliver comprehensive care under one roof. Our goal remains the same: to ensure that the people of Guam and our surrounding region have continued access to the high-quality diagnostic support they need, close to home.”
Prior to joining GRMC, Herring supported radiology services through teleradiology positions, contributing to timely imaging reads and continuity of care for health care teams.
He has also been involved in research, presentations, and quality improvement initiatives, including work related to structured reporting and imaging quality, reflecting his dedication to clinical excellence and patient safety.
