  "textContent": "Oka Point began as a coconut plantation in the early 1900s before becoming the site of Guam’s first civilian hospital in the 1950s, built to treat tuberculosis and later expanded into a general medical facility.\n\nFor decades, it served as the island’s primary center of care, training nurses and treating generations of families.\n\nAfter Typhoon Pamela heavily damaged the complex in 1976 and services moved elsewhere, the structures were eventually demolished, leaving behind little more than fragments and memory.\n\nToday, the windswept coastline holds only faint physical traces of a place that once carried the weight of Guam’s public health history.",
