GemVax Sponsors Talk Concert for Dementia Patients and Their Families

Event Hosted by Seoul City, Organized by Seoul Metropolitan Dementia Center
Over 800 Patients, Families, and Workers Attended

GemVax&Kael announced on the 22nd that it will sponsor the ‘Memory Plus Talk & Concert’ hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and organized by the Seoul Metropolitan Dementia Center.

The ‘Memory Plus Talk & Concert’ will be held on the 25th at 2 PM at the Grand Performance Hall of the New Millennium Hall, Konkuk University Seoul Campus. About 800 people, including dementia patients and their families registered at dementia safety centers in 25 autonomous districts of Seoul, as well as related workers, will attend.

Planned to coincide with Family Month, the event aims to comfort the weary hearts of dementia patients, their families, and related workers, offering a healing time to gain new strength through moments that add joy to everyday life, even if only briefly.

The Talk & Concert will begin with a performance by the Guro-gu Dementia Family Choir, composed of dementia patients and their families, followed by a performance by trot singer Hooniyongi and a lecture titled ‘How to Meet a Better Me Every Day’ by Kim Mikyung, one of Korea’s leading speakers. After the lecture, lively performances by the a cappella group Lavita and trot singer ‘Janggu-ui Sin’ Park Seojin will take place.

Lee Dong-young, director of the Seoul Metropolitan Dementia Center and professor of psychiatry at Seoul National University Hospital, said, "Having time to add new joy to daily life is essential for everyone," adding, "I hope the event will gift dementia patients, their families, and our workers a time to laugh heartily and enjoy themselves comfortably, even if only for a moment."

A representative from GemVax stated, "We are pleased to provide a healing time for dementia patients, their families, and related workers who have been struggling and exhausted for a long time," and added, "Starting with this sponsorship, we will continue to consider various sustainable support measures."

Prior to the Talk & Concert, the first part of the event will hold a commemorative ceremony for the ‘One Heart Dementia Overcoming Seoul Walking Event’ challenge. From April 20 to May 10, participants in the walking event conducted via a mobile app will be selected and awarded by each of the 25 autonomous districts.
