Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital provides medical expenses to low-income patients...We Campaign for Neighborhood Love Practice
Sep 08, 2025
With the proceeds of the 「Hope Sharing Bazaar" held last year by Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital (Hospital President Han Sung-woo), a total of 3.68 million won was provided to 10 low-income patients from January to August this year.
As part of the 'Wero Campaign', 172 faculty members participated in the 'Hope Sharing Bazaar' held on December 27 last year and donated 256 items. The donation of 3.68 million won raised through the sale of bazaar proceeds and lottery tickets was delivered to low-income patients in need.
In particular, among the patients who received support this time, Kim Dong-hyun (pseudonym), a single-parent family child, and Lee Young-ho (pseudonym), who suffers from severe mental and visual disorders, were included, adding to the impression.
Kim Dong-hyun was always wearing a mask due to his crooked teeth and was concerned about his growth and health because he could not chew properly. Lee Young-ho, who was admitted to the Department of Nephrology at Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital with pleural effusion, had no family to take care of him as a basic livelihood recipient with severe mental and visual impairments, making it difficult to afford the care expenses. They were able to continue treatment stably by receiving treatment and nursing expenses through donations from Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital.
In addition to Kim Dong-hyun and Lee Young-ho, the remaining eight patients were also able to ease the economic burden and focus on treatment with the support of Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital.
Han Sung-woo, the head of the hospital, said, `I am glad that the donations raised by the faculty members can be of practical help to low-income patients.' `We will continue sharing activities with the community in the future.'
Meanwhile, Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital has been conducting a 'Wero Campaign' since 2018 to promote a positive hospital experience for patients and their guardians and to create a culture where all members give and receive comfort.
