Yale-New Haven History Yale Was first found is 1826 it was

roughly seven acers and had thirteen beds.

At this time it was supported by the town and was 13,000 to construct.

Yale eventually opened in 1833 and got a jump start in the civil war tending to wounded soldiers. This gave them good business to expand and prosper.

Current Day Now a days the hospital has 1,008 rooms and

advances in many medical sciences such as: Cancer Physical Therapy Neurosciences Heart and Vascular Eye Care Child care Maternity Dermatology Dental Care HIV/AIDS Infectious Disease Care

Why Would It be Good to Relocate

Relocating to another country gives Yale the opportunity to expand.

We considered 5 countries; Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, Laos, and Taiwan.

Our final choice was Thailand. This spot is growing economically and in

population.

Location/Population

The location is in the south eastern side of the Earth and receives a climate that is warm and stormy.

The land varies; there are scattered mountains and plateaus, but the majority of the land is plains and rolling hills.

The average population can read and write, and the people are able to be further educated to work in the hospital.

Disease The water there is not always sanitary

and may cause Bacterial diarrhea. There are also another list of diseases such as, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, and malaria are all common in Thailand. This provides a good understanding of the necessary medicine and equipment we should specialize in.

Economy/Competition The economy is at a

moderate level and continues to improve.

The country’s alliance with America makes it easy to ship and fly goods directly to Thailand.

Though there are already successful hospitals, Yale would have more to offer in terms of special care.

Culture Shock The people in

Thailand avoid disputes at all costs and are generally very respectful.

Thailand has a different smell and may be noisy.

Thai food is different than American food, and may not appeal to everyone’s tastes

The religious beliefs may be different from ours

Why not…

Vietnam There are many monsoons and other

tropical storms that might severely damage the hospital.

The Vietnamese government is doing a lot to make sure that no diseases get spread over the border.

There are also many hospitals, so there will be a lot of competition.

Laos Laos is very mountainous, setting up a

hospital building would be difficult . Laos is land locked making it harder to

import supplies. Laos is a communist country, might not

accept new hospital.
