In addition, the center was highly praised for successfully establishing a customized education and public awareness system tailored to each stage of life and a community-based prevention management system in response to changing environments, such as the increase in environmental factors like fine dust and food allergies, as well as the transition to a super-aged society.

In particular, the center's innovative approach to improving educational accessibility and continuity drew attention. By producing and distributing standardized 'shorts' video materials centered on Safe Schools, the center enhanced the effectiveness of repeated learning. It also operated hands-on puppet show programs to boost self-management skills among infants and children.

The center's efforts to promote health equity in the community also stood out. By providing moisturizers to patients with atopic dermatitis and offering family education, the center achieved high satisfaction rates. Various activities were carried out, including educational programs for vulnerable groups through self-help group operations and connections with existing public health projects, as well as programs utilizing the children's experience center at the public health center. These initiatives helped address health management blind spots across all generations.

Director Park Sunhee stated, "Winning the grand prize is the result of our efforts to develop the atopy and asthma prevention management project into a comprehensive integrated model," and added, "We will continue to provide ongoing support and make every effort to establish Yeongcheon as an allergy-free region."
