We have been working on the new store for nearly a month! Groundbreaking for new medical building in Xindian Gengxin

The Catholic Hospital held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new medical building in its Xindian campus today (10th). Catholic Hospital Chairman Archbishop Zhong Anzhu, New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi, and New Taipei mayor candidates Su Qiaohui and Li Sichuan were all present. The new building plans to have 14 floors above ground. It will integrate the four major specialty centers of diabetes, urology, chest and heart, and introduce smart nursing stations, mobile medical services and AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment, making it easier for people in Xindian and Dawenshan areas to connect medical treatment, examination and follow-up in the same hospital area.

Zhong Anzhu said that Gengxin’s existing hospital has a history of 58 years. With the advancement of medical technology and changes in social needs, the hospital needs to update its buildings, equipment and medical space. The new building is still based on caring for people, hoping to care for patients with love, protect the dignity of life with professionalism, and accompany family members with empathy, making the hospital a working environment where colleagues can support each other.

Zhong Anzhu expressed that he has 3 wishes:

First, turn goodwill into action so that everyone who walks into the hospital can feel love and care.

Second, based on faith, mission and teamwork, we should jointly face medical, engineering and operational challenges.

Third, let the new building become a place that combines medical expertise with the spirit of charity, protects the dignity of life, and brings love, hope and peace to patients, families and colleagues.

He said that the groundbreaking symbolizes the company's commitment to the future, and this commitment will be implemented in daily medical treatment and care.

Hou Youyi said that Gengxin Hospital has been serving Xindian and Dawenshan areas for a long time, and has extended medical and public health services to remote areas. He mentioned in his speech at the ceremony that the new building project cost approximately 6 billion yuan, and the city government will help speed up relevant administrative processes. After the new building is completed, medical services will be centralized, and the existing space will be planned for research and teaching purposes to improve the medical environment for patients and the work space of medical staff.

The hospital stated that Gengxin Hospital will demolish and rebuild some old buildings in phases, and the new building will operate together with the existing medical building. In conjunction with the project, the emergency department has been moved to Medical Building A, and the psychiatric and elderly day care wards have been moved to Ankang Campus. The new building will be bright and comfortable in design, taking into account sustainable architecture and humanistic care. It will use a smart medical system to help the medical team master care information and support clinical judgment, allowing technology to serve patients' care needs.
