Yu An characters, representing healing and ease

The meaning of Yuan

癒 · to heal
安 · to be at ease

The name Yuan brings together Yu (癒), meaning to heal or recover, and An (安), meaning peace, ease and comfort.

Together, they express our intention to offer careful medicine in a place where every patient can feel heard and at ease—not a promise of a particular result.
