Located in the old part of the city, Taizhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital covers an area of fewer than 23 acres. There are only 120 parking spaces in the hospital, insufficient to meet the needs in the peak periods.

At the end of 2019, Zhejiang Province carried out the pilot project of public place transformation and upgrading. The gymnasium in Jiaojiang District, Taizhou City enjoys an underground garage of more than 230 parking spaces, most of which are idle if there is no big game.

"Therefore, we advocated a sharing parking space between the hospital and the gymnasium," Huang Zhenning, deputy director of Jiaojiang District Party committee Reform Office pointed out.

"The simple linkage between the hospital and the gymnasium has played a significant role in saving time for people to see a doctor," Huang Kai, a worker of the hospital said, showing us the "one-stop service model" sign on the wall.

Ding Haibin, general manager of Aobo Sports Service Co., Ltd., said that the hospital would invite professional teachers to guide the masses to carry out traditional Chinese health exercises such as Tai Chi and Five-Animal Exercises in the stadium for free.

According to Huang Zhenning, the improvement of public service is not simply focused on the hardware. "Next, we will continue to deepen the cooperation between the two, and constantly make it more convenient for both the patients who come to see a doctor in the hospital and the citizens who intend to exercise in the gym."
