Building a Social Service Network
Yungshin Social Welfare Foundation
Upholding the concept of contributing to the society, Yungshin strives to fulfill its corporate social responsibility by promoting leisure activities and welfare for the elderly, ultimately achieving the founder’s goal of an unbounded garden.
In 1978, the founder of Yungshin Pharm Ind. Co., Ltd. Mr. Lee, Tian-Te (1923~2006) established Yungshin Social Welfare Foundation to promote social welfare with the concept of only taking the medicine when necessary. With the aim to improve quality of social welfare services, Yungshin Sports Park was built to promote leisure activities and organize the National Yungshin Volleyball Tournament. Yungshin Nursing Center for the Elderly was also built to take good care of the elderly.

Yungshin Nursing Center for the Elderly
As the increasing population of the elderly results in serious care problems in Taiwan, the founder conceived an idea of building a nursing center that offers a comfortable, safe, and dignified environment for the elderly.
Officially opening in 2001, Yungshin Nursing Center for the Elderly integrates corporate resources, the regional medical system, and academic assistance and recruits experienced professionals to offer a quality nursing environment for the elderly in accordance with laws and regulations and the supervision of competent authorities at all levels.
Benchmark Institution in Central Taiwan

Community Care Site
To promote health in communities, the first community care site was built in Dajia District in September 2007. Functioning as the primary prevention, a series of activities are organized for the elderly to build healthy communities.
