Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Lim Chaecheong) and KB Insurance (CEO and President Koo Bonwook) announced on November 20 that they have completed the 100th "Miracle of Healing" Mental Stability Room for firefighters.

"Miracle of Healing" is a social contribution program that Hope Bridge and KB Insurance have been promoting since 2016 to enhance the psychological stability and work efficiency of firefighters. Over the past ten years, this initiative has established a total of 100 Mental Stability Rooms nationwide, providing spaces where firefighters can rest and recover.

The Mental Stability Room is a healing space installed at fire stations to prevent and manage post-traumatic stress disorder and other issues among firefighters. The remodeled space is equipped with massage chairs, spinal massagers, sofas, air purifiers, and smart TVs, helping firefighters relieve physical and mental fatigue and restore their well-being.
