Zero‑Distance Service, Face‑to‑Face Solutions!

Zero‑Distance Service, Face‑to‑Face Solutions! — Community Public Welfare Free Clinic Event at the Lanzhou Campus of Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital Successfully Concludes

To deeply practice the patient‑centered service philosophy and promote the distribution of high‑quality medical resources to the grassroots level, the Lanzhou Campus of Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital organized a medical team to visit Yanyuan Street Community on September 21–22 to carry out public welfare free clinics and health education activities. Hospital leadership led the team to the frontline, bringing professional medical services and compassionate care directly to residents' doorsteps.

On the day of the event, a long line had already formed at the Yanyuan Road Community Plaza early in the morning. As soon as the expert team from our hospital's Departments of Radiotherapy, Surgery, Orthopedics, and Traditional Chinese Medicine took their seats, they were surrounded by enthusiastic residents. Medical staff not only provided free blood pressure and blood glucose measurements but also offered detailed answers regarding common and frequently occurring diseases as well as cancer prevention and treatment knowledge.

"Doctor, what should I do about my stomach discomfort?" "Is a small pulmonary nodule serious?" Faced with residents' urgent inquiries, cancer prevention experts provided one‑on‑one patient answers and offered professional screening and follow‑up recommendations. Orthopedic doctors simultaneously performed precise physical examinations for elderly residents with back and leg pain and provided scientific rehabilitation guidance. Residents expressed their appreciation: "The experts came to us — so thoughtful!"

On the other side, the physical and mental rehabilitation sleep area was bustling with activity. Experts identified residents' constitutions through TCM diagnostic methods, sharing practical tips on seasonal wellness and acupoint health care. TCM rehabilitation experience programs also attracted many middle‑aged and elderly participants eager to sign up.

"Going to the hospital is usually not easy, but today the experts came to our community for a free clinic and taught us so much health knowledge — this is wonderful!" At the event, an aunt who had just completed her consultation gave a thumbs‑up, praising the medical staff for their thoughtful service.

This free clinic is one of the important initiatives through which the Lanzhou Campus of Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital gives back to society and serves the public. By bringing high‑quality medical resources into the community, it not only enabled residents to access high‑level medical consultation services at their doorsteps — effectively enhancing public health awareness and self‑care capabilities — but also further narrowed the distance between the hospital and community residents.

Going forward, the Lanzhou Campus of Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital will continue to uphold its public welfare mission, advancing grassroots free clinics, health education, and livelihood support as routine work. It will continuously optimize service formats, enrich service content, and carry out more targeted medical services based on the health needs of different groups. At the same time, we will continue to leverage the hospital's specialty advantages, focus on the core work of cancer prevention and treatment, strengthen the promotion of early screening, early diagnosis, and early treatment concepts, and comprehensively enhance cancer prevention awareness among the regional population. With more professional expertise, more compassionate service, and more practical measures, we will build a solid health defense for the public and contribute more to the high‑quality development of regional healthcare.
