Han River Sacred Heart Hospital (Hospital Director Heo Jun) of Hallym University received a commendation from the Minister of Public Administration and Security of Distinguished Service for improving the treatment of firefighters on December 31 in recognition of its various programs and supporting firefighters.
The award is given to institutions and individuals who have contributed to improving the treatment of firefighters, including environmental and welfare improvements, who have devoted themselves to saving people's lives at disaster sites.
Hallym University Han Kang Sungsim Hospital, the only university hospital designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, has been operating a 'Treatment Cost Burden Relief Program' since 2022 so that firefighters who suffered burns while on duty can ease the financial burden and focus only on treatment. Through the Hallym Burn Foundation, a social welfare corporation, the system provides up to 10 million won per person for medical expenses and nursing expenses for firefighters that are not guaranteed by the Public Officials Pension Service. Over the past three years, seven firefighters have received about 47 million won.
In particular, since 2023, 'Firefighter Trauma 119 Academy' has been developed and operated to support firefighters' psychological and emotional support. Through this program, firefighters from Seoul who suffered trauma or PTSD symptoms can receive emotional control and cognitive processing based on physical sensory treatment developed by outpatient treatment and social work teams in the Department of Mental Health. As of December 2024, 62 firefighters were treated with the program. In addition, 364 firefighters were able to take care of their mental health for a year due to the firefighters' mental health examination project, which was implemented from June 2024.
In addition, Hallym University Han Kang Sungsim Hospital has been conducting a donation campaign for the calendar of fit firefighters with the Seoul Fire and Disaster Headquarters for 11 years since 2014. In addition, it receives a donation from the Hallym University Medical Center every year to support the treatment of firefighters. Hosted by Hallym University Medical Center, 'Wirun Wei' is a donation event to practice social responsibility and share helping hands through non-face-to-face running.
Director of Hospital Heo Jun "We are always grateful to all fire officials who are committed to protecting the lives of the people""Hallym University Han Kang Sungsim Hospital will continue to do its best to create an environment where firefighters can receive treatment with confidence as a burn hospital."."
