About the Hospital
Beijing United Family Hospital, founded in 1997 by Roberta Lipson as China's first foreign-invested private hospital, pioneered the model of Western-standard bilingual care in mainland China and remains the flagship of the country's only multi-city JCI-accredited private healthcare network.
In 2005, it became the first integrated health system in Asia to receive Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation — a status it has maintained through six consecutive re-accreditation cycles.
The Beijing campus spans approximately 160,000 square metres with over 400 beds, more than 200 full-time senior physicians drawn from over 15 countries, and annual outpatient volume exceeding one million visits, of which nearly 100,000 are international patients. The hospital serves over 120 nationalities and acts as official healthcare partner to numerous foreign embassies and multinational corporations, offering 24/7 English-language emergency and critical care with international medical evacuation coordination.
