China's old sage 1 said: thirty years then stand (三十而立)，it emphasizes that an able person with 30-year-old will be successful in the community. With this view to measure Chang Gung Memorial Hospital after 30 years of development till today, under all my colleagues persevering, continuing to seek to improve，we have reached the 30-years (三十而立) mature stage. In the size of the hospital and in services with quality and quantity, both have been gradually raised to world-class standards. As founder of this medical service organization，my heart is very pleased，meanwhile I am grateful to all my colleagues at all levels for their long time efforts and dedication.   Looking back 30 years ago，Taiwan's medical standards and facilities overall were not enough，needed to be strengthened. The health care system was not good, when people were sick，they encountered often numerous difficulties for treatment. It caused irreparable regret for life and health, thus even led many families to disaster. Unfortunately my father also died because of this, to my endless grief. To try to prevent the same tragedy repeat itself again and again, to base on the mission to contribute to the community, we decided to invest in 1976 to upgrade Taiwan's medical standards, to safeguard people's lives and health with medical services.   Chang Gung Memorial Hospital arrives a considerable achievement after 30 years of all my colleagues with their hard work. In Keelung, Taipei , Chiayi and Kaohsiung, and other places have been set up five major hospital, with over 8,600 beds, outpatient and emergency patients per day up to 26,000 people. In this process, in line with the trend of social development arising from the medical care needs, we continue to expand the service scale, in addition to the establishment of guarding the health of children,"Children's Hospital", carrying forward traditional Chinese medicine "Chinese medicine hospitals", professional care for chronic patients in persistent vegetative states 2 hospice and the "Taoyuan branch" and "nursing homes" and to provide old people to enjoy the "health Cultural Village" and a series of health care system，we are also active in the Yun-Jia region where lack of medical resources, we start new and expansion plans, to provide nearby good medical services for the local residents. In addition to medical services，the scale of the project continues to expand. We believe that the hospital is due to the existence of people. From the beginning we uphold the "people-oriented 以人為本" and "patients first病患優先" philosophy. Early in the beginning of founding hospital we created many precedent, we broke the bad habits which prevailed at the time in the medical community, and has long been followed , such as the abolition of hospital margin system保證金制度.All patients are as top priority, completely excluding of economic factors for delaying treatment; envisaging all possible ways to reduce the cost of dialysis, so that the patients can increase with the actual needs of the number of dialysis, to maintain good physical condition, normal work 1 The old sage refers to Confucius 2 unconscious patients due to accidents，apoplexy… and life, and save their families face the economic crisis. We lead to promote organ donation atmosphere, so that the diseased persons can show their love to the world, saving the precious lives with the feelings of compassion. We reformed physicians payroll system, and specifically to ban red envelopes紅包 3 to eradicate bad practices of the medical community, and so on. These pioneering work in Taiwan have guided the medical community to the sound development, enhancing the well-being of patients. They are our glorious result and all my colleagues feel proud of them.   In addition to the above mentioned creating a good atmosphere of the medical community, another impressive and significant event of the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital highlighted is quite worth mentioning. In 1978, the then Premier Mr. Jiang Jingguo, visited the Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Medical Center in the eve of the opening. He was shocked by the advanced hardware and software facilities and the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital strong competition, so soon he made the allocation of tens of billions of funds, to the Veterans General Hospital and National Taiwan University Hospital, for massive expansion of equipment, continuing several years with several billion dollars subsidies public hospitals, medical services to expand the scale of benefit and help many patients. We feel very pleased on thinking of the past experiences. Chang Gung Memorial Hospital through the involvement of participation, not only urged the government to generous funding, strengthening public hospital facilities, but also stimulated the private hospitals striving to improve the quality of medical services. This mutual incentive achieved a deep influence to trigger the development trend of upgrading, both for the progress of Taiwan's medical standards and medical well-being of the people.   Chang Gung Memorial Hospital faced in the past 30 years also the problem of physicians sources . At that time, the size of teaching hospitals is small, after training to becoming the resident doctors，they must often forced to leave, either to create clinics of their own or to study abroad, due to the shortfall of attending physician. Therefore senior physicians are not enough. Without good doctors to set up an international advanced standards of the hospital is impossible. But we firmly believe that the world despite no easy task, yet nothing is impossible. In addition to rely on domestic senior physician, we went to the United States, employing the authority of specialist physicians, repeating the founding Chang Gung Memorial Hospital's vision and finally many physicians are willing to give up their career in the United States and moved back to Taiwan with the family, to join the service team of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital to fulfill the common practice of the purpose upgrading the standard of medical philosophy. Today, their contribution is indelible to the achievements of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.   At the same time, we have intentions of continuing efforts to develop the hospital management rules and regulations, and continue to seek refinement to enable it to cooperate fully with the hospitals providing excellent services needs. Today, not only the number of patients for medical treatment is increasing，but also the medical research repeated success. Moreover even the hospital management consultant company in advanced countries，come to us to learn the remarkable effectiveness of management. Looking at this 30 years of fruitful achievement，indeed the hospital is a result of joint efforts of all my colleagues and thus we are also widely affirmed by the broad people. 3 To put bribing money in a red envelop Even so, we are not satisfied enough，in order to meet social development, and the additional medical care needs, we have never ceased to move forward, continuing to widen the scope of services and in the course of life in all related fields. Year after year we fulfill the purpose more deeper，so that to be able to contribute the community and the majority. They rely on, to contribute to the community spirit and sense of mission, and to seek truth from facts,”to stop to the perfection as the ultimate goal”止於至善, for the endless hard work and rationalization of spirit.   Chang Gung Memorial Hospital is today over 30 years, in these period although it has encountered difficulties, which with the efforts of all my colleagues were overcome, even problems opening a new development opportunity. We are also convinced that the future there will be numerous 30 years waiting for us to open up and to seek development, regardless of how the evolution of the external environment, I hope all my colleagues in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital will be able to remember the basic idea, "serve and benefit the people"利益眾生. Everything is from this starting point to think and to seek proper treatment for all.   In order to practice "serve and benefit the people"利益眾生concept, in terms of the hospital, basically is to treat the patients properly. The so-called treat patients are the proper use of medical expertise and skills, intentions to seek an effective way to heal, to help patients from the pain to return to health, and to care for the patients worry and anxiety, and to give the appropriate instructions and guidance to understand their condition. It is because when a person has pain which will affect his feelings which are fragile and helpless. This time, if we provide the necessary assistance, he will be usually grateful, and possibly inspired to help others. The impact of this benign power, like the ripples of water continuing spreading to the surroundings. If my colleagues in the hospital with such experience to engage in their share of work, accumulated results, so they may have got a substantial contribution to a harmonious society. We firmly believe as colleagues that with such conviction and the actual work, they will satisfy with their daily work and felt happy. That is the mutual benefit of the good work. The concept of this prospective, practice the "serve and benefit the people" concept of the results, not only benefit other, is also self-serving,利益眾生we should all continue to this way.   On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, of course we are deeply proud over the past efforts of the various achievements, but we must also recognize profound that the external environment can be changing in anytime, anywhere. There may be a new challenge, so no one should be satisfied with the status. We must advance with the times, never stopping to pursuit for improvement. The improvement is to lay a good foundation so that this "to contribute to the community"回饋社會and "serve and benefit the people"，利益眾生can be the cause of sustainable development fully implement in the medical services . http://www.cgmh.org.tw/cgmh/about/about_02.htm
