Dear distinguished guests
------As the Superintendent of the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chiayi, I am very honored to host this prestige orthopaedic combined congress of CAOS-AP, ARCO, and TOA, 2015. The hospital, CGMH Chiayi, accommodates 1373 beds and serves as the tertiary responsive center in the south region of Taiwan.It was built in 2001 as a token of appreciation to the motherland of our founder, Mr. Yung-Ching Wang. The medical campus comprises 80 hectares including the medical center complex, university, research centers, sports arena, dormitory, and the convention center. The orthopaedic department is the biggest team in this region and has outstanding performances in education, research, and clinical service. I am confident that your attendance to the combined congress of CAT, 2015 will encourage this department to become one of the best orthopaedic team in Taiwan.
------The orthopaedic industry is growing fast and strong globally. The scales of the combined congress are incomparable to all other academic activities held in this hospital before. I urge the administrative office and supporting teams to mobilize necessary resources to guarantee the success of the combined congress. I hope your stay will be comfortable and convenient.
------Although the main purpose of your visit is the academic events, I still suggest you to spare sometime to enjoy the fragrant smell of Woolong tea, delicious taste of Taiwanese food, pythoncidere of the Ali mountain forest, and salty atmosphere of the fisherman's wharf. All of them are just in the neighborhood.
------Finally, I would like to welcome you with all my sincere wishes. Looking forward to greeting you in person at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chiayi, Taiwan.
Your truly,
Ying-Huang Tsai, MD
Superintendent and Professor,
Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chiayi |
