Myongji Hospital (Director Jin-goo Kim) held a ceremony to unveil the ‘1st Love Sharing 100 Million Donation Angel’ to commemorate the donation of 100 million won to support low-income medical care by Samsung Construction CEOs Han Yoon-jung and Son Young-gyun, and to spread positive influence.

The relationship between Myongji Hospital and CEO Han Yoon-jung and Son Young-gyun began in 2019. Samsung Construction, run by the couple, is in charge of facility maintenance and management in the Paju and Uijeongbu areas, centered around Goyang City. As many of the facilities they manage include schools, their desire to help children in medical blind spots grew.
They did not stop at just thinking about it, but immediately took action, donating 10 million won to Myongji Hospital, and continued to donate 10 million won every year even in the difficult business environment in 2020 due to the spread of COVID-19. Last year in particular, they increased the annual donation amount to 60 million won, sharing even greater love.
Myongji Hospital, which received a total of 100 million won in donations over five years, plans to use the funds to provide medical expenses and medical support to low-income families and children in the local community who are in medical blind spots.
