Cheng Hsin,
A Growing Full-Service General Hospital in Transformation
ˇ@

    Four decades ago, Madame Chiang established Cheng Hsin Rehabilitation Medical Center in Tingnantzu[1], as the only hospital dedicated to the rehabilitation of polio patients and patients with handicapped limbs. The hospital operated in a tough environment where resources were scarce during its first twenty years, but managed to rescue over 30,000 patients and created a glorious chapter in the medical history of Taiwan. Up to the end of 1980s when polio was almost a non-existence, Cheng Hsin transformed itself into a general hospital with the expansion of new buildings. Thanks to the outstanding leadership of all the chief executives, the contributions from all the staff members and the support and supervision from the board of directors, Cheng Hsin has become a modern, high-standard hospital widely recognized by the general public.

    Cheng Hsin Rehabilitation Medical Center has been witnessing rapid growth over the past ten years. All our members constantly pursue excellence and development, following our motto of ˇ§compassionate heart, dedicated careˇ¨. They spare no efforts to improve the quality of medical services and to develop the competences in their professional fields. We started with physical medicine and rehabilitation, cardiology, cardio-surgery, orthopedics, obstetrics gynecology, urology and pediatrics and have established a stellar reputation. Currently, there are distinguished teams of devoted medical professionals working diligently and exquisitely in all other diverse areas and subspecialties.

   Over the recent years, we have been putting into resources to upgrade CAT scanners, MRI equipment and digital subtraction angiography, as well as to establish 3D reconstruction and measurement system, medical information management system, catheterization system, Da Vinci Surgical System, hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, cardiovascular reconstruction, and renewing central air-conditioning and cleaning system. All the efforts are meant to improve medical techniques and enhance the quality of medical services.

    We are dedicated to providing sophisticated, highly-effective medical techniques with our core value in pursuing medical excellence. Cheng Hsin Hospital currently receives nearly 800,000 patient visits a year. There are 757 beds, accommodating 23,400 hospital stays per year. At the present time, we have a total of 140 doctors and 561 nurses. Our total number of employees is 1,550. Capacity wise, we are small-and-median hospital in Taiwan. We are always more concerned with the enhancement of our service quality, rather than the increase of quantity. We hope to provide the safest and most appropriate medical care to each patient. We want to take care of each and every patient with our respect for life and love for people. We aim to reach the highest medical standards of a medical center with the scale of a regional hospital.

    The Administration/Accommodation Building and the Second Medical Building currently under construction are scheduled to be completed at the end of 2006 and the end of 2008, respectively. By that time, Cheng Hsin will further expand its scope of operations by developing new medical techniques and nurturing more medical talents, in order to provide superior and comprehensive medical services with a human touch. Cheng Hsin will also march toward a new stage and a new milestone. It will not only embrace new glories, but also assume new responsibilities and missions into a new vision.
