The Southern California Chungcheong Association held an appreciation event at Shriners Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, which has provided free medical treatment to Korean children with severe and rare illnesses.

Through its long-running “Love Through Healing” program, the association has partnered with the hospital for 17 years to offer free medical care to 252 burn victims and children with congenital deformities under the age of 17 from financially disadvantaged families. Based on this longstanding relationship, the association has continued its support of the hospital to this day.

During the visit, the Chungcheong Association donated $5,000 to the hospital and hosted a barbecue party, while also distributing boxed meals to approximately 200 people, including medical staff, employees, patients, and their families.
