Opening of 'Mokdong Baekse Health Care Center'
Opening of Baekse Health Care Center at Mokdong Health Center (11, Mokdongjungangbonro 7ga-gil)... Health Care Team (Nurse, Nutritionist, Occupational Therapist, Social Worker) Provides Visiting Health Services
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) has opened the Baekse Health Care Center within the Mokdong Health Center to efficiently promote the Baekse Health Care Project by region.
The Baekse Health Care Project is a program where a health care team composed of doctors, nurses, nutritionists, occupational therapists, and social workers directly visits high-risk residents with chronic diseases who are struggling due to unmanaged conditions or those in need of care, providing integrated health care services including disease management, nutrition management, rehabilitation therapy, and linkage to social welfare service resources.
Residents who wish to use the service can apply through visiting nurses and welfare planners at each neighborhood community center or the Care SOS Center manager.
The center makes a first visit to the referred individual's home for a preliminary health assessment, then selects the final service recipients through an in-depth meeting. Selected recipients receive weekly visits from the health care team for 3 months (12 weeks), during which customized care services are provided according to each professional area.
After providing services for 3 months, the center plans to assist with re-care or community reintegration to help maintain a healthy daily life locally. For inquiries related to the Baekse Health Care Center project, detailed information can be obtained from the Health Care Team at the Yangcheon-gu Public Health Center's Community Health Division.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “I am pleased that we can expand regional health care services from Mokdong to Sinwol-dong and Sinjeong-dong to manage the health of high-risk chronic disease residents who are vulnerable to care due to the increase in single-person households and an aging society,” adding, “Those in need of help should not hesitate to contact their local neighborhood community center.”
