On the outskirts of Suzhou, a historic city along the east coast of China, a monumental new hospital serves a booming population.
Historic Suzhou is a unique city, known for its canals and courtyards. These traditional elements come to a modern medical facility in the bourgeoning district of Science & Technology City, just west of Suzhou.
