context_page_description: The Taiwan Adventist Hospital is a hospital in Songshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. Since 1989, Taiwan Adventist Hospital has been giving medical care to patients from Australia, Canada, India, Japan, Korea, United States, United Kingdom, and many other countries.
context_section_description: The hospital was relocated from Shanghai to Taipei in 1949, after mainland China was conquered by the Communists. Dr. Harry Willis Miller re-established it as Taiwan Sanitarium Hospital. Madame Chiang Kai-shek cut the ribbon on March 28, 1955 when the new hospital was completed. Later it was renamed Taiwan Sanitarium and Hospital, after it expanded its services. The hospital originally had 70 beds and later increased that number to 220. In 1971, the hospital started community health care work, and changed its name to Taiwan Adventist Hospital. After it became too small, a new hospital was built at the same location in 1986. In 2006, the hospital got the permission from the Department of Health for a New Hospital and Teaching Hospital Accreditation System. On February 21, 2012 Tawain Adventist Hospital became the first hospital to be certified by SGS against the ISO 50001:20011 Energy Management Systems Standard.
