Uiwang City Infinite Care Center Operates 7th Mobile Service

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] The Uiwang City Infinite Care Center operated its 7th mobile "Infinite Care Center" service on the 20th at Sinan Apartment in Ojeon-dong this year.

The mobile Infinite Care Center was launched in October of last year as a collaborative effort by the health center, mental health and welfare center, job center, and dong community service center to eliminate blind spots in welfare services. Since then, it has been conducting monthly visits to vulnerable areas or densely populated regions to promote discovery of welfare gaps and provide counseling to vulnerable populations.

During the event held in compliance with COVID-19 quarantine guidelines, a total of 192 counseling sessions were conducted.

For individuals identified as households in crisis, customized integrated services including public benefits, private resources, and integrated case management will be provided through additional counseling.

Ju Jong-soo, director of the Welfare Policy Division of Uiwang City, stated, "We plan to continue operating the mobile Infinite Care Center to proactively identify welfare blind spots and ensure that no neighbors around us are left behind. We particularly encourage attention to neighbors facing economic hardship due to COVID-19."

Meanwhile, the next mobile Infinite Care Center is scheduled to be held on the 24th of next month in Gocheon-dong.
