Mayor Kim Dong-geun said, "Many low-income elderly people have joint problems such as knees and spines and need help," adding, "The donation of mixed grains, which are good for health management, will be helpful in many ways to the vulnerable groups."

Meanwhile, Uijeongbu Seoul Spine Hospital is carrying out various medical welfare contribution projects, including support for knee artificial joint surgeries for vulnerable groups, visiting health lectures, and regular community sponsorships.
