Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital was selected as the first research-oriented hospital in Gangwon-do...Resolving essential medical crises and leading roles in future medical care
Mar 31, 2025
On March 26, Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital (Hospital Director Lee Jae-joon) was selected for the first medical institution in Gangwon-do as the first certified research-oriented hospital in 2025 organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
For about three months, the Ministry of Health and Welfare selected a total of 21 medical institutions by comprehensively reviewing ▲ global-level research systems and professionals ▲ governance to support sustainable research ▲ capacity to carry out brokerage and clinical research ▲ competitiveness in specialized key research fields. Among the new institutions selected this time, Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital is the only general hospital.
With the selection of research-oriented hospitals, Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital has the opportunity to support national projects to foster large-scale research-oriented hospitals, and can play various roles centered on the biohealth research ecosystem.
◇ Building R&D infrastructure… New Frontier Research Laboratory Established
Hallim University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital was selected in 2017 for the 「Bio and Medical Technology Business Clinician's Competency Reinforcement Project」 organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT. In 2018, the New Frontier Research Institute, affiliated with Hallym University School of Medicine, was established for key research in the field of brain diseases, and the infrastructure was established to ensure that physician scientists secured the original technologies necessary for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and led them to the practical and industrialization stages.
Since the establishment of the institute, ▲ Korea's first outpatient opening of brain disease dielectric substance ▲ Development of an artificial intelligence model for predicting stroke based on carotid ultrasound ▲ Discovery of premature birth and dielectric-based biomarkers to overcome low birth rates ▲ Development of an artificial intelligence model that predicts gastric cancer and gastric cancer progenitor lesions in real-time endoscopic images has been achieved. In recognition of these research results, the institute received the best S grade in the final evaluation of the 2021 bio-medical technology development project clinicians' research capabilities, organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT and supported by the Korea Research Foundation.
Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital is contributing to the development of the medical science field in Gangwon-do by establishing an infrastructure for medical scientists to devote themselves to research and helping them put the ideas of the clinical field into practical use.
◇A number of national research projects worth more than 4.1 billion won... The largest medical institution in Gangwon-do
Hanlim University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital has been consistently selected for national research projects such as ▲Cardiovascular Twin Technology Development Research Project ▲ Research Project to foster research-oriented hospitals ▲ Data Construction Support Project for Artificial Intelligence Learning ▲ Regional Innovation Leading Research Center (RLRC) Project ▲ Public Procurement-linked R&D demonstration support project. As a result, the cumulative research order exceeded 41.2 billion won, the largest among medical institutions in Gangwon-do.
◇ Realizing social values from resolving the essential medical crisis to leading future medical care
Hallim University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital plans to lead the ▲ region's essential medical care improvement ▲ super-aging social response ▲ health care cost reduction ▲ future medical care with the aim of conquering diseases and promoting national health using advanced bio-convergence technology.
Lee Jae-joon, the head of the hospital, said, "As the first and only research-oriented hospital in Gangwon-do, we will play a leading role in innovating the research and medical environment and solving the essential medical crisis and super-aging problem based on advanced biotechnology."We will further strengthen our expertise and capabilities in key research fields and generate results from convergence research technology development, commercialization, and clinical application based on clinical unmet needs to lead the national health promotion and future development."."
