Considering the lack of medical resources in the Xindian area, in the 1960’s the late Cardinal Tien Ken-Sin built this hospital (from the ground up) to provide the public with better medical care.  With very limited resource in Taiwan, Cardinal Tien worked hard to raise funds from charitable organizations in West Germany., But unfortunately Cardinal Tien passed away before its completion on October 22, 1968.  The hospital was named after him as a memorium of his leadership and selfless giving.  

Since the establishment of the main hospital in Xindian, our branch hospital in Yung Ho was instituted in 1983, and Mercy Hospital at Huko was opened in 1997. Then came the birth of Ai-Wei Home for Handicapped Adults, Yi-Yuan Retirement Home, Ling-Yuan Home for Alzheimer Patients, Good-Hope Home for Aged & Disabled, Yi-Yuan Clinic, Fu-Jen University Clinic, and Wu-Lai Fu-San Medical Station for mountain dwellers.  In 2004 the new medical building at Xindian was inaugurated, allowing us to further expand our quality medical care for the public.

            Cardinal Tien Medical System has been developing and sharing the belief of “Loving God, Loving His people and Respecting Life”. We continuously up grade our medical services, teaching and research.  Being the first teaching hospital for The Medical School of Fu Jen University, we devote ourselves to nurture the Catholic Spirit and morals amongst our medical students.  We provide the public with quality and trustworthy medical care.
