Critical Success Factor

Hong Kong Baptist Hospital (Baptist Hospital) has actively participated in the project. Through Medical-Business-Community cross-sectoral collaboration, it has strengthened the ties among neighbours in the Choi Wan community. Baptist Hospital has not only assisted in the formulation of the direction and implementation strategies of the project by attending the joint meetings for key collaborators, but it has also mobilised nearly 120 staff volunteers to organise workshops on knowledge of health care and healthy diet for parents, teachers and project House Captains over the past two years. In addition, to enhance the relationships within the neighbourhood and promote cross-generational integration, various activities have been organised to convey positive psychological messages to students, whereas students have also been led to pay home visits to those living alone and people in need.
