Although the national health insurance has successfully taken care of the health of many disadvantaged ethnic groups in Taiwan since 1995, more and more large hospitals and small clinics come out; meanwhile, more and more middle regional hospital disappeared because it has failed to implement the system of graded medical treatment and referral policy. Many middle regional hospitals must take a transition and change their business model to avoid a closed crisis. The S hospital was established in 1973 and has grown from a small surgical hospital with only 30 beds to a regional teaching hospital with a total of 617 beds. However, in the face of challenges of rapid transition in the medical market, S hospital decided to upgrade to the medical center, improve the quality of medical care, and deepen the brand value to gain the support of the people. S hospital analyzed itself with SWOT and five forces analyses. It re-examined itself, predicted the development of trends, formulated strategies, and established the direction of investment in resources, then it began to implement the strategy. In the course of implementing the strategies, S hospital continuously strived to improve the quality and competitiveness, implement organizational reengineering, and strengthen research and teaching software and hardware configurations. Although the final result that S hospital was still unable to smoothly become a medical center in 2017, it has successfully opened the door of transformation and improved many of the defects of the S hospital, which has given a new definition to the quality and brand image of the S hospital. It is hoped that the colleagues of the S hospital will continue to work hard, constantly seek new changes, and hopefully become a medical center one day.
