This competition aims to review the operational performance of Health Life Support Centers nationwide and to discover and share outstanding cases. The evaluation targeted 102 Health Life Support Centers across the country that have been in operation for more than one year. The centers were judged in three categories: urban type, rural and fishing village type, and small-scale type.

According to the city, the Baegot Health Life Support Center received high marks across the board in the "small-scale type" category, including in areas such as establishing a project foundation, linking local resources, effectiveness in improving health issues, and the sustainability and scalability of its projects. The city added that the center was especially recognized for creating a health-friendly environment that allows health improvement effects to continue even after the completion of programs for local residents.

Opened in 2022, the Baegot Health Life Support Center is an institution that provides customized health services tailored to the local community.

Lee Hyungjung, head of the Siheung City Public Health Center, said, "We will continue to expand customized health services so that residents can maintain their health in their daily lives."
