Cheongyang County Unveils Vision for New Rural Care Model "Cheongyang Da-Dolbom"

Kim Dongon, County Governor: "Realizing Inclusive Welfare Where No Resident Is Left Out of Care"

Cheongyang County in South Chungcheong Province has officially declared the launch of its rural integrated care model, "Cheongyang Da-Dolbom," presenting an inclusive welfare vision aimed at nationwide expansion so that no resident is left out of care.

On September 10, at the South Chungcheong Social Economy Innovation Town, the county held the "Cheongyang Da-Dolbom Vision Declaration Ceremony," marking the beginning of a new welfare governance system that brings together residents, local government, and care-related organizations and groups.

At the event, County Governor Kim Dongon and experts in care and community revitalization attended to discuss topics such as realizing care at the village level, expanding access to healthy food care, the necessity of community-based care, and strategies for ensuring sustainability, as they explored the future direction of rural welfare models.

Since launching its community integrated care pilot project in 2019, the county has established various care systems encompassing housing, medical services, and public health. In 2022, it signed a rural agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, establishing itself as a leading local government in rural care systems.

With this vision declaration, the county plans to expand its inclusive care services to cover all generations, from infants and young children to the elderly and multicultural families.

County Governor Kim Dongon stated, "Cheongyang Da-Dolbom is a rural welfare model created not by administrative leadership alone, but together with residents and the local community. Through public-private cooperation, we will establish a sustainable care system and promote its nationwide expansion."
