The institution's personnel promote infectious disease prevention and management guidelines and play a role in promptly reporting to the health center in case of various infectious disease outbreaks to detect group outbreaks early and prevent the spread of infectious diseases within the community.

A special lecture titled "Health and Infectious Diseases" was given by Park Seong-jun, Deputy Director of the Gyeongbuk Infectious Disease Management Support Group and professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at Dongguk University. After education on statutory infectious diseases and infectious diseases in general, a session for Q&A and discussion was also held to facilitate communication.
