Cheongsong-gun Health and Medical Center Operates Visiting Korean Medicine Program at Senior Centers

Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, is operating the ‘Visiting Korean Medicine Project’ for medically vulnerable elderly from September 5 to October 31 at the Cheongsong-gun Health and Medical Center.

Cheongsong-gun operates a visiting Korean medicine program at senior centers.

The Cheongsong-gun Health and Medical Center runs Korean medicine programs every Tuesday and Wednesday, focusing on three senior centers in Gaksan-ri, Jinbo-myeon; Nulin 3-ri, Hyeondong-myeon; and Jigyeong-ri, Pacheon-myeon. A Korean medicine doctor visits the senior centers to provide one-on-one health consultations and acupuncture treatments to alleviate musculoskeletal symptoms and offer personalized health management services.

In particular, this ‘Visiting Korean Medicine Project’ is expected to greatly help improve self-health management abilities, prevent complications, and enhance daily living and independence by providing customized visiting health management services at the senior centers, which are the main living spaces for the elderly.

County Governor Yoon Kyung-hee stated, “We will continue to develop and promote various projects for medically vulnerable groups who have difficulty accessing medical care to further enhance the health of our residents. We will also do our best to extend the healthy lifespan of local elderly through the ongoing operation of various Korean medicine health projects.”
