The Hong Kong Adventist Hospital – Tsuen Wan is part of the Adventist Health global network of over 280 hospitals which strive to extend the Healing Ministry of Jesus. In the late nineteen sixties Dr. Harry Miller initiated the idea of building a hospital to serve the Tsuen Wan community and share the wholistic health philosophy of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. He secured a land grant from the then colonial government. Various local philanthropists contributed. The government of the United States funded equipment as well as a generous donation assisting final completion in June 1970. Today, the hospital continues to expand to meet the increasing demand for healthcare services in the area. The new tower of Tsuen Wan Hong Kong Adventist Hospital was completed in 2015 increasing bed numbers from 120 to 470, including new specialist centers, operating rooms and state of the art equipment. The 60th Anniversary Celebration of the Tsuen Wan Hospital took place over the weekend of May 26th, 2024, attended by GC, CHUM and Hospital administrators, local dignitaries, staff, patients and supporters. On Sabbath, the highlight was the renewal of commitment to service emphasizing the Love that motivated the Good Samaritan and modeled by the Great Physician, Jesus Christ.
