Shanghai Tianyou Hospital is a general hospital employing a mixed economic system. The hospital not only provides the basic medical service for patients with medical insurance, but also meets the requirements of VIP service. The hospital covers a total area of 50,000 square meters and offers 520 beds. It has 32 clinical and technical departments, including six key disciplines and three clinical specialties. The rehabilitation medicine is the focus to be promoted among the key disciplines.
Tianyou Hospital has attracted many well-known clinical experts and their teams, including academic leaders and the research backbones of Tongji University. This medical service mode offers a new direction for the health care reform, as the experts are allowed to keep their academic positions while working in the privately operated hospital.

Furthermore, it will provide a new type of health service combining medical treatment, health care, rehabilitation and nursing for the aged in order to meet the need of the aging society.
