Moving Beyond Conventional Boundaries Together
The journey to establish Jumin Hospital has spanned more than a decade. Along the way, it has involved many challenges and changes, from shifting resources to evolving policies. What has sustained this journey is the support of many. The strength of the alumni community, in particular, has acted as an essential foundation. Their contributions have extended beyond financial support. They have brought valuable expertise in medical technology and experience in planning and development. Together, these efforts have helped forge a distinct path, allowing Jumin Hospital to grow in its own way.
A medical university needs its own hospital. Otherwise, medical education will hardly develop with full independence. National Yang Ming University has been fortunate to work closely with Taipei Veterans General Hospital, and together we have built some of Taiwan’s leading medical resources. To become a first-class research university and hospital, teaching, research, training, and clinical practice must be closely integrated. Jumin Hospital provides an ideal setting to assemble these elements.
Today, alumni of National Yang Ming University bring deep experience in medical education and clinical practice. Combined with National Chiao Tung University’s strengths in information and communication technology and engineering, Jumin Hospital will serve as a central hub for integrated practice following the merger of the two universities. Here, medical students and researchers can engage directly in clinical research, while interdisciplinary collaboration is actively encouraged. By applying big data and AI technologies, the hospital aim to enhance the precision of diagnosis and treatment, and to translate innovative research into a wider range of medical applications.
Jumin Hospital is not driven primarily by profit. As a foundation-based hospital, it is designed with a high degree of flexibility, free from the constraints of the public healthcare system. This allows it to deploy resources and technologies with greater autonomy. Together with the pioneering spirit of the Hsinchu Science Park and the growth of the biotechnology sector, these conditions can be expected to form a strong collective momentum, supporting the advancement of clinical research and the application of new technologies.
In the years ahead, Jumin Hospital will become more than a provider of advanced medical services. It is conceived as an integrated institution that brings together education, research, and clinical practice. When people face complex health challenges, we hoped that Jumin Hospital will be among the first places they turn to. In time, it may grow into a rising presence in Taiwan’s healthcare landscape, offering reassurance and support for healthier lives, while helping shape the future of smart healthcare.
