The 'Visiting Healthcare' project is conducted in cooperation with public health centers and health clinics, providing enjoyable rhythms along with health exercises to elderly people who have insufficient physical activity during the off-season farming period. This project aims to prevent elderly depression and promote a healthy old age through efficient physical activity.

In the first half of this year (January to February), the project will visit 26 locations, including the Dongchon Grandmothers' Senior Center in Apo-eup, conducting sessions once a week. After the project ends, a satisfaction survey will be conducted to provide even higher quality services.

A representative from the Gimcheon City Public Health Center stated, "The proportion of elderly population in Gimcheon City is continuously increasing, making health projects for the elderly increasingly important. During the off-season farming period, physical activity tends to decrease, leading to neglect of health management. Therefore, the public health center will proactively reach out to ensure that the elderly can live happy and healthy lives." They added, "In the second half of the year, applications for senior centers wishing to participate will be accepted in September, with operations planned from October to December. We ask for the residents' great interest and participation," urging many to take part.
