Hanwha Life Reopens 200 Training Center Rooms for COVID-19 Patients

Yongin Life Park Training Center to Be Provided as a Residential Treatment Center
Helps Alleviate Bed Shortage in the Seoul Metropolitan Area Due to COVID-19 Resurgence

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] Hanwha Life announced on the 28th that it will once again provide its Life Park Training Center, which has 200 rooms, as a residential treatment center for mild COVID-19 patients.

This decision aims to help alleviate the severe shortage of hospital beds in the Seoul metropolitan area due to the recent resurgence of COVID-19. Life Park is located in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, and after consultations and preparations between government authorities and local governments, it is scheduled to be fully operational as a residential treatment center in September.

This is the second time Hanwha Life has provided its training facility as a residential treatment center. The Life Park Training Center was designated as Gyeonggi Province's first residential treatment center from March 19 to April 30, supporting patients' treatment and recovery for about 40 days.

At that time, Life Park operated as a "home-substitute" residential treatment center managing mild patients who had completed medical treatment and whose clinical symptoms had improved enough to be discharged. A total of 201 mild patients were admitted and returned to their daily lives after full recovery. The average treatment period was 3.7 days, significantly contributing to the turnover of hospital beds in medical institutions. Additionally, medical staff from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital continuously monitored patients' health, providing comprehensive care covering not only physical symptoms but also mental health.

A Hanwha Life official said, "Considering the shortage of beds for the rapidly increasing number of COVID-19 patients, we decided to provide Life Park, which was already used as a treatment facility once again," adding, "We hope it will serve as a 'hope center' for patients returning to daily life and contribute in some way to overcoming the national crisis."

Hanwha Life Life Park, located in Cheoin-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, is a smart training facility opened in April last year to cultivate digital financial professionals for Hanwha Life employees and financial planners (FPs). The site covers 82,000㎡, with a total floor area of 30,000㎡, and is used annually as an educational facility for about 12,000 Hanwha Life employees and FPs. It has 200 rooms across two dormitory buildings, each equipped individually with a bed, bathroom, shower facilities, TV, and Wi-Fi environment.
