The newly-formed Adventist Health Mothers Club held their launch ceremony at Tsuen Wan Plaza on 19 September, 2010. The club, formed by a group of mothers who shared their journey to parenthood by all delivering their babies at TWAH, will aim to provide emotional support and encouragement for all soon-to-be and new mothers.

The occasion was marked by a baby massage competition which was judged by the supervisor of Yang Memorial Methodist Social Services, Miss Lee Yuen Sim, and Tsuen Wan District Councilor Mr Wang Yui Tak with other guests.

In total, 18 teams of parents and babies took part in the competition with a demonstration on the advantages and techniques of baby massage by nurses. Four teams were declared the winners after two exciting rounds conducted in a warm, friendly atmosphere.

The event also promoted the importance of the family unit and included a discussion on autism by Dr. Anthony Ng, specialist of Paediatrics.

Lifestyle Management Center at Tsuen Wan Adventist Hospital has organized a continuity healthcare program specifically for the Tsuen Wan community, and a ‘kick-start’ ceremony was held at the Royal View Hotel on 19 May 2010. The program was co-organized by the Tsuen Wan Safe and Healthy Community Steering Committee, with the support of the Tsuen Wan District Office and Tsuen Wan District Council.

Its purpose is to investigate and improve the health conditions of around 2,000 Tsuen Wan residents in middle-age group. Around 40 community leaders have joined the program now. Health checkups and a series of follow up health improvement programs will be arranged for those participants throughout a year. Lingnan University is invited to conduct a research for the health conditions and general improvements of those participants. These figures will be used to develop some effective and efficient health related programs to fit community needs. We take the mission to improve the health condition of the community very seriously and looking forward to implement a successful health program.

An extremely successful and most enjoyable fun fair was held on the 22nd February 2009 by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Both Hong Kong and Tsuen Wan Adventist Hospitals were major contributors and exhibitors, with booths sharing information about cancer of the colon with the general public. Additionally, teams of doctors and nurses answered inquiries from the audience, whilst other personnel conducted free measurements of BMI and fat ratio.

Special stage presentations were well received, and these included a nutritionist advising on good eating habits, an exercise physiologist demonstrating simple exercises, and chefs from the Intercontinental Hotel conducting vegetarian cooking demonstrations.

Everyone appeared to enjoy themselves immensely.

The fair is open to industry professionals and the general public. And 12 private hospitals have joined together to form a Virtual Operating Theatre, a fascinating educational display area to showcase the procedure and facilities of operations. Meanwhile, the public forum and health talks organized by hospitals allow both professionals and the public to update themselves on the latest developments.
