This medical volunteer service was carried out as part of Seoul Asan Medical Center's social contribution program, "Employee-Recommended Medical Volunteer Service," after Nam-myeon was selected as the target area. The initiative utilized Seoul Asan Medical Center's specialized medical resources and mobile clinic bus to provide high-quality medical services to vulnerable residents and to expand medical cooperation that grows together with the local community.

The volunteer team included 15 medical professionals from Seoul Asan Medical Center, such as a family medicine specialist, nurses, radiologic technologists, and clinical laboratory scientists. They conducted blood pressure and blood sugar measurements, blood and urine tests, electrocardiograms, and X-rays. Intravenous nutritional supplements were also administered to patients as needed based on their condition.

About 150 residents of Nam-myeon participated in this medical service, where personalized consultations and examinations were provided, taking into account each patient's medications and health status. In addition, to ensure smooth operation of the event, local organizations and community groups-including the Jeongseon County Public Health Center, Nam-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, Volunteer Police Force, and Volunteer Fire Brigade-collaborated to support registration, provide traffic guidance, and manage resident safety.

An official from the Jeongseon County Public Health Center stated, "We are deeply grateful that the expert medical staff from Seoul Asan Medical Center visited Nam-myeon in person and carefully attended to the health of our residents," adding, "We will continue to collaborate with various organizations to improve medical services for local residents in the future."
