Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital

Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital is on its way to expand cooperative network to all parts of the country.

The West Coast Cooperation Belt Plan was the driving force behind this expansion, laid by Dr. Young Goo Lee, the new hospital director. The hospital will establish the nationwide cooperation belt from Seoul to Chungcheongnam-do, Jeollabuk-do and Jeollanam-do connected by the west coast traffic network in the first half of the year.

On March 2, hospital leadership led by Director Lee visited Mokpo city to make a cooperation agreement with 6 general hospitals and clinics including Mokpo Hankook Hospital, Mokpo Joongang Hospital, Mokpo Christian Hospital, MIZ-I Hospital and 21C Hana Medical Clinic.

Local hospitals wished this network to be not only an academic tie but also an opportunity to share hospital management know-how.

Dr. Lee said “I am very glad to make an agreement with famous hospitals in Mokpo. I hope this agreement would be the starting point for Hallym to consistently share strong points and know-hows with the local hospitals for mutual development.”
