The donation reflects the foundation\u2019s vision to bolster, enable, and inspire global development in education, health, and innovation.<\/p>\n

This transformative gift marks a recognition of both Chinese Hospital\u2019s successful efforts to control COVID-19 pandemic locally and that of Dr. Huang\u2019s own extensive contribution to the global fight through his companies Innova Medical Group, Inc., Biological Laboratory, Inc, and others<\/p>\n

Dr. Charles Huang spoke about this considerable gift. He said, \u201cI am very pleased with this opportunity to support the Chinese Hospital of San Francisco in California through my donation. This institution has an excellent tradition of caring for the people in the local community, especially those in the less privileged backgrounds.\u00a0 I chose the Chinese Hospital of San Francisco as the first recipient of my major charity donations in the country as my gift will enable it to provide even better access to quality healthcare for those in need the most.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The donation will fund the redevelopment of the six-story outpatient tower. The refurbishment will touch every square foot of the building. The project to rebuild the entire infrastructure, including the electrical backbone has already begun.<\/p>\n

Many new services and programs will be added. Foremost among which are adding to subacute care bed units and mental\/behavioral health programs. Subacute care bed shortage is a chronic issue in San Francisco and the increase will have a direct positive impact on the hospital\u2019s patients, community, and San Francisco at large. Mental health is another rising public health issue in the U.S. To address the matter and fulfill needs, Chinese Hospital will develop mental\/behavioral health programs. Other areas include surgical\/endoscopy\/same-day surgery suites expansion, nutrition services modernization, and laboratory and registration\/lobby improvements.<\/p>\n

The redevelopment will allow the hospital to offer more programs and services, improve patient privacy, and create a better environment for patients and community. It will also enhance the emergency response capability of COVID teams. This will enable hospital to better handle other public crises in the future, including increased testing capacity through major technological lab expansions.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jian Zhang, CEO of Chinese Hospital said, \u201cWith this incredibly generous gift, Chinese Hospital is able to renovate the outpatient tower to create and expand much-needed services\/programs to our community and San Francisco at large.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0 Dr. Zhang continued, \u201cChinese Hospital continues our vital work of providing quality care to our patients as well as fighting against public crises for many years to come. We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Huang for strengthening our ability to continually innovate and safeguard the community.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Kitman Chan, Chinese Hospital\u2019s Board of Trustees\u2019 Chair, added, \u201cDr. Charles Huang\u2019s generous donation will help Chinese Hospital continue its mission to care for the community in a cost-effective way. It is important for us to continue our programs to support the community during this difficult time and in the future. We continue to be \u201cThe People\u2019s Hospital\u201d and we are committed to serving our community.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The occasion was marked with a check-writing ceremony that included Dr. Charles Huang, Chinese Hospital\u2019s Board of Trustees and its senior management.[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/1hoWRBejQAo” el_width=”50″][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]About Dr. Charles Huang and Charles Huang Foundation <\/strong><\/p>\n
