On Oct. 31, 1989, a groundbreaking ceremony for a Chinese hospital special to Loma Linda University Health was held — Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital. The three random winners who correctly identified the hospital’s namesake are Faith Hughes, Nic Ynostroza, and James Keller. Please email pr@llu.edu to claim your prize, which must be picked up within 60 days.
Shaw, a major entertainment mogul in Asia, chose to give back through opening a medical facility in Hangzhou, China — and he wanted the Seventh-day Adventist Church to be involved in its operations. Why? Because of the excellent care his mother had received at an Adventist hospital many year earlier.
Since Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital opened in 1994, it has enjoyed a long partnership and exchange program with Loma Linda University Health in which Chinese and American counterparts have shared expertise in areas such as management, nursing, medicine, teaching, and research. Many such individuals were reunited earlier this year during the hospital’s 20th anniversary celebration in Hangzhou.
“The Loma Linda University Health–Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital partnership is envied today across China and indeed across all of Asia,” Richard Hart, MD, DrPH, president of Loma Linda University Health, said in his May 2014 newsletter about the partnership.
Shortly after the anniversary celebrations in China, back in Loma Linda, an executive from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital received the Global Service Award from Loma Linda University during the School of Medicine graduation ceremony. Who was this person?
