The classes consist of various activities such as coloring and counting, which are expected to greatly help improve the cognitive abilities of the participants.



Lee Sang-ik, the county governor, expressed gratitude to the College of Nursing at Chonnam National University for their cooperation in this program and stated, “We will continue to do our best to promote various programs for the prevention and overcoming of dementia among residents.”
