Sep 11, 2024

Ilsong Academy, a school corporation, held the 3rd inauguration ceremony for Yoon Hee-sung, the chairman of the board of directors, at the Doheon Hall of Ilsong Academy, a school corporation in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the 10th.

About 60 key positions at Ilsong Academy and Hallim University Medical Center attended the inauguration ceremony, including Choi Yang-hee, president of Hallim University, Moon Young-sik, president of Hallim Sungsim University, and Kim Yong-sun, head of Hallim University Medical Center.

Ilsong Academy, a school corporation, is a corporation established to practice human skills and cultivate world-class talents, and has medical and educational institutions such as Hallym University Medical Center (Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital) and Hallym University, Hallym University Sacred Heart University, and Hallym International Graduate University. In addition, Ilsong Academy, a school corporation, operates six welfare centers and contributes to improving public health and welfare through the combination of medical care and welfare.

At the inauguration ceremony, Chairman Yoon Hee-sung said, `Ilsong Academy, a school corporation, will become a reincarnation hall in a new era with the keyword of brand identity, Phoenix.' `The affiliated institution should grow together through medical data and convergence between disciplines.'

Specifically, Hallym University Medical Center emphasized that it will lead the top-level treatment and patient-centered trend and ultimately function as a leading institution that provides medical services centered on severe diseases.

To this end, Chairman Yoon plans to strengthen 'Phenix Project'.

The Phoenix Project was launched to build a patient-centered smart hospital to mark the 50th anniversary of its opening in 2021. It is based on educational support and investment to foster medical staff with efficiency and innovative excellence and to cultivate talented people with expertise. At the same time, he announced his ambition to develop Hallym University Medical Center by intensively innovating ▲ medical treatment ▲ future ▲ talent ▲ service ▲ digital transformation ▲ research field.

Hallym University, Hallym Sacred Heart University, and Hallym International Graduate University, which are educational institutions, refer to educational paradigm shift, and suggested the importance of context-oriented education that realizes the need for technology and educates related thinking methods rather than holistic education and technology itself that can draw out individual potential and deep thinking to freely handle technologies such as artificial intelligence.

To realize this, it was proposed to establish a mid- to long-term 'Poenix Plan' to provide an experimental and creative experience centered on thinking and philosophy.

Finally, Chairman Yoon Hee-sung requested that all faculty and staff work hard to help Ilsong Academy, which has achieved rapid growth in its 50-year history, grow into a representative institution of Korea through repeated challenges and development over the next decade by drawing a blueprint for a new era.

Chairman Yoon Hee-sung served as a senior researcher at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital in the U.S. and was appointed as the third chairman of the school corporation Ilsong Academy in July 2024, after serving as the director of management strategy and executive director of the school corporation Ilsong Academy.

While serving as the executive director of Ilsong Academy, Chairman Yoon has preemptively moved to innovate and lead the medical and education sectors in the rapidly changing AI era and digital environment. It promoted the digital transformation project and the establishment of a technology holding company at Hallym University and innovated the medical environment. In order to advance the research and academic capabilities of corporate-affiliated institutions, the Phoenix Project, the selection of Glocal University, and international academic symposiums with leading overseas institutions have been conducted. As a social responsibility activity, he has promoted Werenwu and consolation campaigns, and has led admiration campaigns for the environment.
