This event was organized by Uijeongbu Eulji University Hospital to promote community sharing at the end of the year and to support vulnerable groups with limited access to healthcare. Yangju Public Health Center collaborated with the Eunhyeon-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, providing administrative support such as offering the venue and promoting the event to local residents.

On the day of the event, around 70 residents of Eunhyeon-myeon participated, and a total of about 60 medical professionals-including doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and administrative staff-were mobilized to deliver practical medical services. These included senior fitness exercises and winter fall prevention education, blood pressure and blood sugar measurements, basic health consultations, symptom-specific prescriptions, and physical therapy.

Additionally, about 20 medical staff members engaged in environmental cleanup activities around the Administrative Welfare Center before and after the event, contributing to the improvement of the local living environment.

Song Hyun, Director of Uijeongbu Eulji University Hospital, said, "We wanted to share warmth with the elderly in the Yangju area as the year comes to a close," adding, "We will continue to fulfill our role as a hospital that works together with the local community."

A representative from Yangju Public Health Center stated, "This medical volunteer activity was a meaningful event that provided tangible medical services to the residents of Eunhyeon-myeon and helped spread a culture of mutual support within the community," adding, "We will continue to strengthen health services for medically vulnerable groups by cooperating with medical institutions and related local organizations."
