Welcome Back
Whether you spent a semester studying Mandarin, built a career in Shanghai's tech scene, or taught English in a small Tianjin neighborhood — you carry China with you. The Second Home Program is designed for people like you: international professionals with a lived connection to China who want to return for healthcare, wellness, and cultural reconnection.
No language barriers. No cultural surprises. Just quality care at honest prices, coordinated by people who understand both worlds.
About TIECEC
Founded in 2005, the Tianjin International Enterprise Cultural Exchange Center (TIECEC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cross-cultural enterprise collaboration. For two decades, we have connected international businesses with Chinese markets — and now, we are opening our doors to welcome you back.
Our team includes bilingual coordinators, medical liaisons, and cultural guides who have lived, studied, and worked across Europe, North America, and Asia. We understand what it means to navigate healthcare in a foreign country — and we make sure it feels like coming home.

Second Home Program
Our flagship program welcomes international professionals with a China connection back to Tianjin for medical care, wellness, and cultural immersion — with full-service coordination every step of the way.
From first inquiry to post-treatment follow-up, a dedicated bilingual coordinator manages every detail — hospital matching, treatment planning, and 6–12 months of remote monitoring after you return home.
Oncology, cardiovascular, orthopedics, and neurosurgery at leading Chinese hospitals. CAR-T therapy, proton therapy, and Da Vinci robotic systems available. Typical wait: 1–2 weeks.
Full-body preventive screenings — imaging, bloodwork, and specialist consultations — completed in 2–3 days with a full English report. Transparent pricing from $800 to $3,500.
Post-surgical recovery, chronic pain management, and adjuvant therapy through integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine — acupuncture, herbal medicine, and therapeutic massage.
Medical invitation letters, visa facilitation, airport pickup, hospital admission, and bilingual accompaniment throughout your stay. We handle the logistics so you can focus on healing.
All costs confirmed in writing before travel. Prepayments held in escrow and released per treatment milestones. No hidden charges, no membership fees, no subscriptions.
Why Tianjin
Tianjin is where East meets West — quite literally. With its historic European concession-era architecture along the Haihe River, world-class hospitals, and a slower pace of life than Beijing or Shanghai, it is the ideal setting for medical recovery and cultural reconnection.

Stories
Our patients are former expats, international alumni, and overseas Chinese who already know the rhythm of life in China. They return not because it's exotic, but because it's familiar, affordable, and exceptionally good.
Start Your Journey"I spent three years teaching in Tianjin after graduation. When I needed a complex knee surgery years later, coming back felt natural. TIECEC coordinated everything — the hospital, the surgeon, even my old favorite noodle shop was still there. I recovered faster and paid a fraction of what it would have cost in London."
Integrated Wellness
China's healthcare system uniquely combines cutting-edge medical technology with thousands of years of traditional healing wisdom. Our Second Home Program gives you access to both — Western surgical excellence paired with TCM rehabilitation protocols that accelerate recovery.
Post-surgical patients benefit from integrated acupuncture, herbal medicine, and therapeutic massage — a combination that international patients consistently report leads to faster recovery times and reduced pain medication dependency.
