This year, the evaluation focused on key indicators such as the residents' walking practice rate and healthy lifestyle practice rate, and Sacheon City Public Health Center was selected as the best institution by demonstrating excellent performance in all evaluation categories.

The city health center planned and promoted a specialized walking program reflecting the characteristics of the local community and the needs of residents. It aimed for continuous walking by residents while creating an environment suitable for walking for everyone and conducting resident-participatory walking activation projects.

In particular, it was evaluated that operating both non-face-to-face walking challenges and face-to-face walking programs simultaneously greatly increased citizen participation and satisfaction.

Meanwhile, the 2024 Gyeongsangnam-do Health Promotion Project Awards Ceremony was held at 11 a.m. on the same day at the Changwon Convention Center located in Seongsan-gu, Changwon City.

Director Jeong Hee-sook said, “Walking exercise is the most ideal healthy lifestyle practice for busy modern people to protect their health without special equipment. We will continue to prioritize residents' health and create a healthy Sacheon through health programs tailored to residents' perspectives and needs.”
