ABOUT KUANSHAN TZU CHI HOSPITAL
Two decades ago, long-distance between Hualien and Taitung and lack of medical resources in rural areas of Taitung, made the inconvenience for people in rural areas such as Kuanshan residents, to access the medical services.
Master Cheng Yen with great compassion responded to the suffering of the poverty-stricken and vowed to pour great love into the ‘medical desert’ of eastern Taiwan. Master Cheng Yen decided to undertake Po-Ai Hospital, which wasn’t brought into use, and gathered medical staff and volunteers in Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital to begin medical services in Kuanshan. Kuanshan Tzu Chi Hospital was inaugurated on March 15, 2000.
Kuanshan Tzu Chi Hospital still upholds the principle of patient-oriented service, belief in respect for all living beings’ life, and the mission, to “guard life, health, and love”.
