Since Taitung is home to a number of diverse ethnic groups, many languages are spoken there, including Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka, Japanese, and six different Aboriginal languages. Recognizing this as a serious challenge, the nuns and brothers of the hospital began training locals as nursing assistants from day one.
特別的是，由於台東地區族群多元，日常使用的語言複雜（包括國、閩、客、日語，以及 6 種原住民語言），因此，修士及修女們從一開始就致力於培訓本地的護佐，以便同時協助護理及翻譯工作。
