Gwangju Bitgoeul 50+ Center, Health Management Academy 1st Graduation Ceremony

The Gwangju Bitgoeul 50+ Center announced on the 26th that it held a completion ceremony on the 23rd after finishing the first session of its health management program academy, which checks the physical and mental health of middle-aged adults and helps them lead a vibrant second act in life.

The academy provided weekly sessions over five weeks with invited expert instructors covering topics such as ▲ What to live for and how to live ▲ Understanding key health indicators ▲ Lifestyle therapies to reduce pain ▲ Attitudes toward life, communication, and empathy for healthy relationships ▲ Prevention and management of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia ▲ Understanding and responding to dementia ▲ Comprehensive diagnosis for retirement preparation ▲ A beautiful life and a graceful ending ▲ Career-type jobs for the new middle-aged and interpersonal skills.

One participant who completed the academy said, "With the ongoing economic downturn, I was worried that if my parents neglected their health and became ill, it would become a burden to their children, but through the health management academy, I learned how to manage it."

Jung Chan-gi, director of the Bitgoeul 50+ Center, said, "We will prepare even more thoroughly and dedicate ourselves to the second session of the program," adding, "We will do our best to deliver health-first information and help people enjoy cultural, leisure, and hobby activities."
