On the 23rd, Seongsan District Office of Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, signed a cooperation agreement with Heeyeon Nursing Hospital for the 2024 Medical Aid Project, including the Home Medical Aid Project.

The main contents of this agreement include ▲assessment of the needs of home medical aid recipients ▲establishment and adjustment of care plans ▲medical, welfare, and nutrition counseling and monitoring ▲intensive education and counseling ▲support for the healing program for new recipients.
According to the agreement, Heeyeon Nursing Hospital will form a care team as a cooperating medical institution to support services in the medical field for medical aid recipients, including establishing care plans, monitoring, intensive education, and counseling. Seongsan District will support the stable settlement of recipients in the local community through overall project management and administrative support.
Kim Suhong, Director of Heeyeon Nursing Hospital, said, “I hope this agreement ceremony will help medical aid recipients who have been discharged return to the community. We will continue to carry out various social contribution activities for the local community.”
