KMI Korea Medical Institute Expands Free Health Checkups for Disabled Workers at Goodwill Store

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] KMI Korea Medical Institute announced on the 13th that it will expand its social contribution project of providing free health checkups to disabled workers at Goodwill Store nationwide.

Goodwill Store is a social enterprise where disabled and non-disabled people work together. Since signing a sharing practice agreement with Suwon Goodwill Store in 2011, KMI has been practicing love-sharing through annual free health checkup support and donations of goods.

Starting this year, KMI decided to expand the social contribution project of free checkups for disabled workers at Goodwill Store nationwide. In addition to the national health checkup items, tests for additional items that incur extra costs (worth 500,000 KRW per person, totaling about 30 million KRW) will be provided free of charge to support disabled workers in maintaining their health and preventing diseases.

Kim Soon-yi, Chairperson of the KMI Social Contribution Committee, said, “To promote coexistence in our society and fulfill our social responsibility as a health screening institution, we will continue to carry out health love-sharing social contribution activities for marginalized neighbors.”

KMI Korea Medical Institute, established in 1985 as a health screening institution, currently operates health screening centers in seven locations nationwide: three in Seoul (Gwanghwamun, Yeouido, Gangnam) and four regional centers (Suwon, Daegu, Busan, Gwangju). Along with activities for early detection and prevention of diseases and promotion of public health, it carries out various social contribution projects.
