With rising environmental consciousness, there has been active support for the Orchid Island horned owl, the orchids, and other rare flora and fauna. But very few people have thought to look after the island's Yami people, a national treasure, by offering them medical services.

近年來，環保意識抬頭，人們對侷促一隅的蘭嶼角鶚、蘭花、羅漢松等蘭嶼特稀有生物有支持行動；可是卻少有人想到要藉醫療的服務，來照顧具「國寶級」身分的雅美人，致使該區的醫療水準，如其地理位置一般孤懸於台灣本島之外。
