Key improvements made:

Eliminated Chinglish: "making outstanding contributions" → "established the foundation"; "protects the health of mothers and infants" → "safeguarding both mother and baby"; "distinctive pregnancy and delivery experience" → "distinctly personalized birthing experience"; "invigorate spleen, eliminate dampness" → "Strengthen digestive function (spleen support)"

Logical flow: Overview → Leadership (table) → Philosophy → Care by Stage (4 sections with tables) → Facilities → Technology → Delivery Options → Commitment

Visual clarity: Tables for therapies, postpartum services, and technology features; bold for stage goals; consistent formatting

Concise phrasing: Removed redundant "characteristic" modifiers; streamlined service descriptions; "dystocia management" → "Dystocia (difficult delivery) intervention" for clarity

Professional terminology: "Auricular seed therapy" for 耳穴压豆; "Postpartum Medicinal Paste (膏方)" with original term; "lochia" retained as standard obstetric term; "TCM Holism" as branded concept

Warm tone: Closing quote adds emotional resonance appropriate for obstetrics service; "Your journey to motherhood" personalizes the mission
