有161年歷史的基督教台南新樓醫院,30年前察覺台南溪北、麻豆地區醫療資源貧乏,興建麻豆新樓醫院照護地方;且將軍區更偏遠,近來僅衛生所與1家偏僻診所,新樓醫護人員從13年前開始到將軍駐點看診,迄今已有6據點,其中2據點是宮廟,更打破宗教的藩籬,讓麻豆新樓榮獲今年唯一醫院的國家地方經營典範獎。
將軍區當地唯一的藥局李年豐藥師也約從13年前開始協助麻新醫院送藥到外出不便的多數高齡患者家中,李年豐盛讚新樓醫護能進駐將軍區據點看診,對改善地方居民就醫不便的問題,助益很大。
新樓醫院院長劉啓擧指出,30年前麻豆地區醫療資源匱乏,鄉親面臨急、重症常要遠赴市區醫院,求醫之路艱辛漫長,當年新樓醫院懷抱「醫療傳道」決心進入1號國道旁的麻豆地區興建醫院,這些年堅持與深耕,使麻新從無到有、成了鄉親信賴的健康堡壘。
由於溪北近海線的將軍區醫療資源更短缺,新樓醫護從2013年起派醫護人員進駐地方據點為患者看診,13年來在將軍里等多里相繼籌設看診點,迄今累計有6個據點,其中4處是里活動中心;兩處是烈池宮、李聖宮道教宮廟,打破基督教醫院與社區道教宮廟的宗教藩籬,運作也相當順暢。
因為麻豆新樓醫院長年深耕麻豆、將軍等溪北地區的偏鄉醫療,榮獲今年第28屆國家品質獎的「地方經營典範獎」,是全台唯一1家西醫院獲得此獎。包括南市衛生局長李翠鳳、健保署南區業務組長韓佩軒等人都在今天到台南新樓醫院見證這項殊榮,也感到與有榮焉。
