Gwangju Shinsegae Donates 10 Million Won to Elderly Dementia Patients and Their Families
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Gwangju Shinsegae Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Dong-hoon) announced on the 14th that it donated 10 million won to the Chosun University Gwangju Metropolitan Dementia Center for the healing of elderly dementia patients and their families.
The donation ceremony was attended by Lee Dong-hoon, CEO of Gwangju Shinsegae, Jeong Jong-hoon, Director of Chosun University Hospital, and Chu Il-han, Director of the Gwangju Metropolitan Dementia Center, among others.
The donated funds will be used not only for elderly dementia patients through the Chosun University Gwangju Metropolitan Dementia Center but also for research on dementia.
The Gwangju Metropolitan Dementia Center was established to efficiently operate dementia management projects tailored to the Gwangju area to create a Gwangju free from dementia concerns.
Major projects include becoming dementia partners, fostering and activating dementia overcoming leading organizations, the One Heart Dementia Overcoming Walking Event, and various activities such as Dementia Overcoming Week and Dementia Overcoming Day commemorative events.
Lee Dong-hoon, CEO of Gwangju Shinsegae, said, “Dementia is not only a burden on the patient but also causes physical, mental, and economic hardships for the families of dementia patients, which should not be overlooked,” adding, “I hope the donation will be used meaningfully for patients suffering from dementia.”
Meanwhile, Gwangju Shinsegae has supported emergency relief supplies costs through the Gwangju Youth Center in April, and in May, provided play kit costs for children from vulnerable families.
