BBH has also explored a set of rehabilitation model that integrates acute treatment with recovery rehabilitation, traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine as well as medical treatment with engineering. Adhering to the concept of "Patient first, Realistic and Enterprising, Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Contributing to Society ", BBH now is well received for the effect of its treatment given to patients from both China and over 20 countries and regions. In 2013, BBH became the standing committee member unit of Beijing Rehabilitation Quality Control Center and played a positive role in regulating Beijing medical quality management and promoting development of rehabilitation discipline construction.

　　BBH was also responsible for furnishing basic medical services to almost 1,000,000 residents in its vicinity. It took on many social duties such as fighting against SARS, medical security for large-scale sports events at home and abroad, targeted poverty alleviation, counterpart support and so on. Especially during earthquake relief respectively in Wenchuan, Yushu, Ludian, Ya’an, medical workers volunteered to go into the disaster areas and made outstanding contributions.
