LIH Investment & Management

What LIH Investment & Management does

LIH Investment & Management (北京长和系国际医疗投资管理有限公司, doing business as LIH Healthcare / 长和医疗) is a privately-held rehabilitation medical investment and management group founded in 2013 by Sun Changsen and headquartered in Beijing. The company owns and operates a network of rehabilitation facilities comprising one secondary-level specialized rehabilitation hospital — Kunming Changhe Tiancheng Rehabilitation Hospital (~14,000 sqm, 104 rehabilitation beds) — and three pediatric clinics: Beijing Changhe Daying Pediatric Clinic, Shanghai Changhe Daying Pediatric Outpatient Department, and Shenzhen Changhe Daying Children's Rehabilitation Outpatient Department. It also provides rehabilitation department management and consulting services to partner general hospitals and serves as the exclusive Chinese distributor and licensor of the Griffiths Mental Development Scales Chinese Edition for mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

The company's core offering is an evidence-based, multi-disciplinary rehabilitation model integrating international clinical protocols with a team of over 60 overseas physicians and therapists from 18 countries, anchored by strategic partnerships with U.S. Children's Specialized Hospital (New Jersey), Montefiore Medical Center / Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Beijing Children's Hospital, Kunming Medical University, and Indiana University. Clinical services span physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, psychological assessment, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for autism, and interdisciplinary team evaluations for children with developmental disabilities, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, and other special needs, plus adult bone/joint, neurological, elderly, and pain rehabilitation at the flagship hospital. The flagship proprietary asset is the Griffiths Developmental Assessment Scales Chinese Edition (ages 0-8), the only internationally validated developmental assessment tool with Chinese norms and full Chinese IP, delivered through a certified training and licensing program.

LIH generates revenue through three streams: (1) transaction-fee outpatient and inpatient medical and rehabilitation services at self-operated facilities; (2) managed services for partner-hospital rehabilitation departments; and (3) licensing, training, and certification revenue from the Griffiths Chinese Edition program. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by service type and contract. Cumulative service volume exceeds 20,000 families, the Griffiths program has trained 857 certified assessors across 420+ medical institutions in 18 provinces, and go-to-market relies on professional medical forums, academic conferences, autism awareness events, and certification training rather than consumer-facing advertising. The company has raised approximately $17.8M across two 2016-2017 rounds led by Qiming Venture Partners and is pursuing JCI and CARF international accreditations.

Direct peers

• United Family Healthcare (和睦家 / Chindex): China's leading premium private international-standard hospital network, founded by Chinese-American physicians. Operates on the same playbook of bringing Western healthcare standards to affluent Chinese families — directly comparable target customer, pricing model, and international talent strategy to LIH's pediatric rehab clinics.
• Jiahui Health (嘉会医疗): Shanghai-based private international hospital group offering internationally accredited care across specialties including rehabilitation. Comparable to LIH's Shanghai outpatient operations in target market (urban affluent Chinese families) and bilingual clinical model.
• HopeCare Speech & Language Therapy (东方启音): One of the largest pediatric speech-language and behavioral therapy provider networks in China, treating children with autism, developmental delays, and language disorders. Closest direct competitor to LIH's Olivia's Place pediatric clinics in terms of clinical scope (SLP/ABA for special needs children) and multi-city delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Phoenix Healthcare Group (凤凰医疗): Largest hospital operator in mainland China, Hong Kong-listed, running both general hospitals and rehabilitation departments. Comparable as a broader incumbent in private hospital operations in China, though its portfolio is more diversified and less pediatric-specialized than LIH.
• IOT Group / Haier Healthcare (海尔医疗 / 弘和仁爱医疗): China-based private hospital group operating specialty and general hospitals. Overlaps with LIH in private specialty hospital operations in China but spans a broader clinical mix and larger geographic footprint.
• Encompass Health: Largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the United States. Comparable in core business model (specialty rehab hospitals operating under a multi-state network), though US-focused and far larger scale — useful reference for what scaled rehab hospital platforms look like.

Regional players

• Raffles Medical Group: Singapore-headquartered private healthcare group with premium outpatient/inpatient facilities across Asia. Operates in the same premium private-international-standard positioning that LIH targets, but in different geographies (Singapore/SE Asia vs. mainland China).

Others

• Children's Specialized Hospital (New Jersey): Premier US pediatric rehabilitation hospital and LIH's flagship strategic partner. Provides comparable clinical model (multi-disciplinary pediatric rehabilitation) but operates as a flagship partner rather than a competitor; useful comparable for clinical standards and protocols.
• Montefiore Medical Center: Large New York-based academic medical center with strong rehabilitation medicine and pediatric programs; LIH's core academic/training partner. Comparable as a reference institution for rehab medicine practice and clinical education, but not a market competitor.
• ARICD (Association for Research in Infant and Child Development): UK-based publisher/owner of the Griffiths Scales and LIH's licensor for the Chinese Edition. Reference point for the underlying assessment IP, but a partner rather than competitor; an adjacent ecosystem participant in the developmental assessment value chain.
