We were pleased to welcome Congressman Kevin Mullin to Chinese Hospital. During his visit, he met with our Board of Trustees, physician leaders, and senior management team to discuss our mission, priorities, and our role as the last independent community hospital in the Bay Area.
CEO Dr. Jian Zhang shared an overview of Chinese Hospital’s history and its longstanding commitment to community health, highlighting our essential role during major public health crises such as the Bubonic Plague and the Covid-19 pandemic.
We also discussed the challenges community hospitals face today, including rising healthcare costs, limited reimbursement, and increasing pressure on safety net providers, and how these factors impact the patients and the community we serve.
Despite these challenges, Chinese Hospital remains committed to providing quality, accessible, and culturally responsive care for those who depend on us.
We appreciate Congressman Mullin’s time, support, and continued advocacy for community healthcare.
