Sharing, voluntary service and practice of love for the marginalized social calsses at home and abroad
In the hospitals, there are many patients and families in need of assistances from social workers like those who suffer from chronic or acute diseases,
have social difficulties, cannot afford the treatment due to financial difficulties, cannot set up plans after discharged, or have no information on
social welfare though they want them.
Korea University Medical Center Medical Social Work Programs help patients deal with their problems through specialized counseling based on cooperations
with medical professionals when they have difficulties in getting treatment, recovery and prevention due to social and financial obstacles.
The Programs also support for the patients to settle down at their home and community after being discharged.
The social workers at the Medical Social Work Programs are fully committed to putting into action one of core values, 'Sharing and voluntary service
for the marginalized social classes at home and abroad' through the voluntary services, social contributions and voluntary medical services, not to mention
specialized counseling.
