The Korean medicine program is being conducted every Tuesday and Wednesday since January 23 at three senior centers in Wolmae-ri, Hyeondong-myeon; Ongjeom-ri, Pacheon-myeon; and Jwara-ri, Juwangsan-myeon. A Korean medicine doctor visits the senior centers to provide 1:1 customized health consultations and acupuncture treatments to alleviate musculoskeletal symptoms and offer personalized health management services.


As physical activity decreases due to the winter cold wave, the need for elderly health management has emerged. The Korean medicine home-visit project targeting transportation-vulnerable areas is expected to receive strong support from local seniors.



County Governor Yoon Kyung-hee stated, “We will strive to improve the health of elderly residents with chronic and musculoskeletal diseases by providing various Korean medicine programs to seniors in transportation-vulnerable areas who have difficulty accessing medical institutions.” She added, “We will continue to take the lead in promoting active and healthy aging for our elderly.”
