Jangan-gu Jowon 2-dong's 'Filial Love Acupuncture Service' Activity

The Jowon 2-dong Community Center in Jangan-gu (director Choi Ok-soon) visited 'Peace Mother's Home' on the 20th, a free nursing facility, and carried out 'Filial Love Acupuncture Service' volunteer activities for 30 elderly residents, continuing efforts from the previous year in partnership with Seoul S Korean Medicine Clinic and Maek Korean Medicine Clinic in the district.

'Peace Mother's Home' is a welfare facility where approximately 60 elderly persons living alone reside. Twice monthly, staff from Jowon 2-dong and licensed acupuncturists visit the facility to provide volunteer services for elderly residents with mobility difficulties due to arthritis and neuralgia.

On the day, Korean herbal patches, blood pressure checks, and simple acupuncture treatment were provided. Kim, a grandmother, expressed her gratitude, saying, "Even when my body ached, I couldn't find the courage to go to the hospital, but I am grateful that you visit regularly and perform acupuncture for me," and added, "I am thankful to the Jowon 2-dong staff and medical professionals who visit me every time."
