National Health Insurance Service Buuul-Gyeong Headquarters Holds Graduation Ceremony for 'Healthy Geoje!' Smart Senior Center Health Class

Non-face-to-face Health Management for Seniors at 75 Senior Centers

The Busan Ulsan Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters of the National Health Insurance Service held a completion ceremony on the 29th for the Geojedo City Smart Senior Center Health Class, a citizen participation-based specialized project named "Healthy Geojedo!" which has been conducted for three months since May.

The "Healthy Geojedo!" health class, promoted by the headquarters, was a project linked to the Smart Senior Center (3 towns, 75 senior centers) platform system established in Geojedo City. From May to July, the program provided a total of 22 exercise classes and expert lectures twice a week, offering health information and physical activities to invigorate the health management of seniors.

The health class, which introduced the interactive "Smart Senior Center System," was evaluated as a successful case of a health promotion project that overcame the limitations of not being able to receive easily accessible health promotion services in urban areas due to the geographical constraints of "rural and fishing villages."

In addition, to protect the property rights of elderly participants from new types of financial scams targeting seniors, the project collaborated with the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency to provide guidance on how to respond, further enhancing the synergy of the project by strengthening care for the socially vulnerable.

The seniors who participated in the health class expressed their regret at the completion ceremony, saying, "We look forward to the health class with the instructor every week, and we hope it continues next year as well!"

At the completion ceremony, 12 outstanding senior centers that actively participated in the health class over the past three months were selected, and small gifts were delivered, with a request for the seniors to continue practicing healthy lifestyles on their own.

Choi Deokgeun, the head of the headquarters, said, "We will continue to discover a variety of programs so that local residents can maintain healthy lifestyles, and we will do our best to fulfill our role as health guardians for a healthier and happier community."
