After hearing about the province from the patient, Huang and his wife Donna Chen soon decided to take a vacation in P.E.I.

“We found it was a very peaceful place and the people are very friendly,” said Huang, with the couple moving to the province in 2015. “I find the pace is slow and not very rushed, I like the atmosphere because I used to be busy from the early morning until midnight.”

Throughout a 22-year medical career in Taiwan, Huang’s medical centre and clinic cared for more than 100,000 patients. Huang saw about 100 patients a day.
