A PRIVATE hospital in Subang Jaya, Selangor, is expanding its community outreach to champion preventive health.
Having served the township for 41 years, Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) aims to ensure essential wellness initiatives reach all residents.
While their planned 3km fun run and 10km race could not proceed due to the haze, SJMC carried on the spirit of its “One Run, One Community, One Hope” event through various health-focused activities, live performances and carnival games at its premises.
It also sponsored 3D mammograms for 41 underserved women through a collaboration with Subang Jaya assemblyman Michelle Ng Mei Sze.
Held in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the initiative aimed to improve access to breast screening.
The event received support from the local council, police and fire services, reflecting a shared commitment to building a healthier community, SJMC said in a media release.
Speaking at the event, Asia OneHealthcare regional chief executive officer-cum-SJMC and Ara Damansara Medical Centre (ADMC) CEO Bryan Lin highlighted the hospital’s commitment to building a healthier future together.
“For over 40 years, our commitment has extended beyond our hospital walls, with initiatives such as the Teddy Paws Club, Alumni Circle and Super Seniors Club keeping us connected with families at different stages of life.
“The trust and support of the Subang Jaya community have helped SJMC grow into the internationally recognised quaternary hospital it is today,” Lin said.
“As we continue to advance our medical capabilities and expertise, we remain equally committed to making preventive healthcare more accessible to the people we serve.
“Through health screenings, educational talks and corporate social responsibility initiatives such as our 3D mammogram sponsorship programme, we hope to encourage more people to take charge of their health, embrace early detection and seek medical attention when needed,” he added.
On the sponsorship, Ng said, “We welcome SJMC’s continued contributions to community health, from encouraging residents to stay active to helping underserved women access screening.”
SJMC said alongside these efforts, it continued to expand its capabilities and services to meet complex health needs, including transplant services and multidisciplinary treatment for patients who required expertise across several specialties.
SJMC said its continued focus on innovation, precision treatment and person-centred care supported this work, while closer collaboration with ADMC brought complementary expertise and more coordinated care to the communities both hospitals served.
