Director Moon Changgi of Cheongyang County Health Medical Center
Prioritizing the Hearts of Seniors Over Their Physical Health
A small consultation room in the Department of Internal Medicine 1 at Cheongyang County Health Medical Center in Chungnam. Here, there is a special doctor who goes beyond simple medical care to heal the hearts of patients. That doctor is Director Moon Changgi.
According to Cheongyang County on the 10th, Mr. Kim has been visiting the medical center for over a year, accompanying his parents who have difficulty moving. Having always been sensitive to the attitude of medical staff during each visit, he recently left a heartfelt message of gratitude on the "Compliments" board on the Cheongyang County Office website.
Mr. Kim wrote, "From treating my father's hematuria to my mother's endoscopy and ultrasound exams, Director Moon always explained everything kindly and showed genuine concern. He would smile and give a double thumbs-up, saying that as long as they take their medicine well and can go up and down the stairs, everything will be fine."
He added, "Although the consultation time is short, Director Moon's every word, his warm gaze, and above all, his sincere attention left a deep impression on both the patients and their caregivers."
Cheongyang is one of the regions with the highest proportion of elderly population in the country, making the existence of the health medical center not just a medical facility but a central pillar and source of support for seniors.
The Department of Internal Medicine 1, where Director Moon works, is the most frequently visited place for patients who require consistent management for chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
Even amid his busy schedule, he never hesitates to explain everything at the level of understanding of the elderly. As the nurses say, "He cares for the heart before the body," his consultations are always filled with warmth.
Even outside the consultation room, he greets patients brightly and continues his explanations, earning him the reputation among local seniors as a "trusted doctor."
Cheongyang County Health Medical Center, as a public medical institution, actively carries out community-centered health projects such as home medical services, health checkups, and chronic disease complication management.
The reason Director Moon Changgi enables seniors to visit the hospital without fear and with peace of mind ultimately comes from his "sincerity toward people."
He believes that medical care is not simply about curing disease, but about alleviating anxiety and improving quality of life.
One resident said, "In rural areas like Cheongyang, where private hospitals are scarce and transportation is inconvenient, the presence of such medical staff becomes the hope of the community."
