[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) held the opening ceremony of the Health Healing Culture Center (54 Nambusunhwan-ro 83-gil) on the afternoon of the 3rd.

The Health Healing Culture Center, established as the nation's first one-stop complex facility for health, healing, and welfare, boasts a total area of 6,999.84㎡ spanning from the 2nd basement floor to the 3rd floor above ground.

Built within the Sinjeong 1-1 redevelopment zone, the main facilities include the Health Healing Center, an indoor gymnasium, a daycare center, Our Neighborhood Care Center, and a Maternal and Child Health Promotion Center.

At the Health Healing Center located on the 2nd and 3rd floors, visitors can experience various cultural activities aimed at mental healing. Activities such as healing gardening, philotherapy, and music showers are designed for anyone to easily experience healing culture and enhance life satisfaction, enabling residents to create a healthy life on their own.

The ‘Singing Bowl Meditation’ class, which was piloted before the opening, received positive feedback for providing a new experience of relaxation and mental comfort through meditation accompanied by singing bowls that emit frequencies inducing relaxation.

The healing therapy room filled with the scent of cypress offers a cypress foot bath (dry type), cypress sauna (dry type), and loess mats, providing a space where residents can heal their tired bodies. Experiencing cypress aroma while enjoying foot baths and saunas helps boost metabolism and immunity, drawing strong interest from residents.

On the 1st and 2nd floors are the daycare center, Our Neighborhood Care Center, and the Maternal and Child Health Promotion Center. Our Neighborhood Care Center is a space for play and rest available to any elementary school student needing after-school care, and can be used by making a reservation through the Our Neighborhood Care Portal.

The Maternal and Child Health Promotion Center, which provides information needed from pregnancy preparation to pre- and postnatal care as well as systematic health management services for mothers and infants, is located within the Health Healing Culture Center and is expected to operate as the only local government center combining health and healing.

The indoor gymnasium on the 1st basement floor is a space for various physical programs such as basketball, badminton, and line dancing to help residents improve their fitness. For the time being, it will operate with limited capacity in compliance with social distancing measures due to COVID-19.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “I am pleased that with the opening of the Health Healing Culture Center, residents can receive one-stop services for health, healing, and welfare in one place,” adding, “We hope it will become a representative facility leading health healing welfare by providing various programs and convenience facilities that realize the specialization of local health, cultural welfare, and healing culture for Yangcheon residents.”
