The ceremony was attended by distinguished guests including Jang Myung-soo, Chairman of Ewha Hakdang, Kim Eun-mi, President of Ewha Womans University, Lee Pil-soo, President of the Korean Medical Association, as well as hospital officials such as Yoo Kyung-ha, Vice President for Medical Affairs and Director of the Medical Center at Ewha Womans University, Ha Eun-hee, Dean of Ewha Womans University College of Medicine, Yoo Jae-doo, Director of Ewha Mokdong Hospital, Lim Soo-mi, Director of Ewha Seoul Hospital, and Yoo Hyun-jung, Head of the Ewha Medical Center Branch of the National Health and Medical Industry Labor Union.

Ewha Aorta Vascular Hospital is the first hospital in a domestic university hospital dedicated exclusively to aortic treatment, operating with the goal of becoming the "world's best aorta vascular hospital." Since beginning medical services on June 19, Ewha Aorta Vascular Hospital surpassed 100 aortic surgeries within two months. The hospital explained that this is the shortest period record in the country.

Song Seok-won, Director of Ewha Aorta Vascular Hospital, said, "The aorta specialty hospital was established to provide a seamless full range of aortic treatments," adding, "Ewha Aorta Vascular Hospital will become a hospital that performs one-third of aortic surgeries in Korea and nurtures top-tier specialists."

Lim Soo-mi, Director of Ewha Seoul Hospital, expressed expectations, saying, "Ewha Aorta Vascular Hospital, equipped with the best medical staff including Director Song Seok-won who had the highest number of aortic surgeries in Korea last year, single-patient intensive care units, hybrid rooms, and the best facilities and systems, will grow to be the overwhelming number one in the field of aortic surgery."

Meanwhile, Ewha Aorta Vascular Hospital has established the EXPRESS (Ewha Xtraordinary PREcision Safe AORTIC Surgery) system, which sends text messages to medical staff and administrative teams upon inquiries about patient transfers with aortic disease, allowing surgical preparations to be completed before the patient arrives. This enables patients to be moved directly to the operating room upon arrival.
