At the performance conference held on July 7th at The-K Hotel in Seoul, Cheongsong-gun received high praise in the establishment of the 8th regional health care plan, a mid- to long-term plan in the health care sector, for strengthening primary medical services for the elderly, operating customized health programs based on regional health behaviors, and creating a high-quality medical environment, leading to its selection as an outstanding institution.

In addition, in the health promotion project strategy sector, Cheongsong-gun installed and operated a health promotion center for residents in the southern mountainous area who have difficulty benefiting from health services. Programs such as the "Georeuma Nalsallyeora" (Step Up to Save Me) exercise and online aerobics provided energetic exercise programs to local residents exhausted by COVID-19, receiving great responses from the community and earning the Minister of Health and Welfare’s Commendation at this performance conference.

Governor Yoon Kyung-hee stated, “We will continue to carry out vibrant and substantial health projects reflecting the poor medical environment of rural areas so that local residents can lead healthy and happy lives.”
