This year, as part of Seongsan-gu's innovation projects, the 'Medical Aid Recipients Healing Program' was designed for recipients who have newly acquired medical aid eligibility. The program aims to enhance proper use of medical aid through education on the medical aid system, and to promote positive changes in daily life and vitality through chronic disease prevention education and humanities lectures.

On the day, Seongsan-gu medical aid managers provided customized education on essential medical aid system information to about 60 new medical aid recipients, covering topics such as differences between health insurance and medical aid systems, medical aid days, extension approvals, the selective medical aid institution system, procedures for applying for assistive devices for the disabled, and medical aid nursing care expenses.

Following this, Joo Mi-seon, head nurse of Heeyeon Nursing Hospital, was invited to conduct chronic disease education including diet and exercise therapy, providing health information useful for daily life.

Additionally, Professor Gam Ra-young from Silla University was invited to offer experiential education under the theme of "The Meeting of Humanities and Arts to Cultivate Self-Identity," providing emotional support to medical aid recipients and offering them a healing opportunity, which received great responses from the participants.

Shin Mi-kyung, head of the Social Welfare Department, said, "I hope today's education provided new medical aid recipients with an opportunity to use hospitals rationally and that the humanities lecture through art therapy offered emotional and psychological healing." She added, "We will continue to strive to provide more support for the proper use of medical aid by recipients."
