Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital successfully concluded its 2023 year-end event under the slogan "Sharing Love, Adding Happiness."

According to Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital on the 29th, about 180 people attended the event held the previous day, including Hospital Director Jeong Yong-yeon, key officials, staff, patients, guardians, and local citizens.

Chairman Choi Hyun-man of Mirae Asset Securities, who donated a Steinway-Boston piano last December to help patients struggling with their illnesses at Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital recover their health through music therapy, also attended and brightened the occasion.

The event was organized to select and reward departments and staff who diligently performed their duties throughout 2023 and to express gratitude to external organizations and individuals who contributed to the hospital’s development.

The first part, "Sharing Love," included awards and appreciation plaque presentations, as well as a video reviewing the year’s achievements. The outstanding department awards went to the Colorectal Surgery Department and the Biomedical Research Institute.

The Colorectal Surgery Department was recognized for its excellent cancer treatment competitiveness, contributing to customer satisfaction and improvement of medical quality, thereby advancing the hospital’s development. The Biomedical Research Institute received a commendation for leading the enhancement of the hospital’s research capabilities by creating a smooth research environment for researchers through a systematic research support system.

Outstanding employees selected were Manager Lee Kyung-ok of the Medical Quality Management Office and Chief Jeong Hoe-su of the General Affairs Division’s Parking Management Team. Manager Lee was acknowledged for improving medical quality and establishing a culture of patient safety, while Chief Jeong was recognized for efforts to enhance convenience for visitors and staff.

Appreciation plaques for contributions to the hospital’s development were presented to the Gwangju-Jeonnam Branch of the Korea Leukemia and Childhood Cancer Association and Ms. Beom Young-sook.

The Gwangju-Jeonnam Branch of the Korea Leukemia and Childhood Cancer Association donated 10,000 blood donation certificates this year alone for patients at Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital and led a culture of sharing by delivering gifts to leukemia and childhood cancer patients during holidays such as Chuseok and Christmas.

Ms. Beom Young-sook participates in the operation of the "Ewha Healing Music Concert," held every second Tuesday of the month at the hospital, healing the bodies and minds of patients, guardians, and local residents and spreading hope.

Following the video review of the year, the second part, "Adding Happiness," featured a healing time for body and mind through a special concert by world-renowned pianist Kim Jung-won.

Hospital Director Jeong Yong-yeon said, “As this is the first year-end event held since the COVID-19 pandemic, I hope that patients and guardians who have been struggling to find happiness in daily life, as well as the staff accompanying them on this journey, can take a moment to rest during this time. Our hospital has received much love this year. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported and loved us.”
