Gwonseon-gu Health Center Opens New Facility in Topdong Administrative Town

Suwon's Gwonseon-gu Health Center (Director Kim Hye-kyung) held an opening ceremony on the afternoon of the 29th at its new facility in the Topdong (No. 910) Administrative Town, attended by Suwon Mayor Kim Yong-seo, Gyeonggi Province National Assembly members, Suwon City Council members, and Park Ki-hyun, Medical Director of Ajou University Hospital, among local residents, and resumed medical services for citizens.

Gwonseon Health Center, Suwon's first health center, has worked to promote the health of local residents for over 40 years and held the opening ceremony on this day due to the establishment of Yeongdeungpo-gu and changes in jurisdictional boundaries.

The newly opened health center was built with a total project cost of approximately 3.92 billion won, with a total area of 1,984 pyeong (approximately 6,560 square meters), consisting of one basement level and two above-ground floors with a total floor area of 755 pyeong. In addition to medical facilities such as consultation rooms, vaccination rooms, tuberculosis clinics, and testing laboratories, it is equipped with a smoking cessation clinic, oxygen therapy room, and exercise prescription room, and operates various health promotion programs.

As a result, the city has established a system of four health centers across four districts, replacing the previous system of three health centers.

Meanwhile, Suwon Mayor Kim Yong-seo said in his congratulatory remarks, "The newly equipped health center will now be able to provide proper medical services to citizens in the western Suwon area," and "I hope the health center will become one that takes responsibility for the health of citizens going forward."
