On 1st February 2026, Shincheonji Hwagok Church carried out its health promotion campaign for senior members aged 70 and above, providing on-site medical checkups and personalised health consultations during the winter season.
The campaign, titled "Protecting 100 Years of Health Together," took place at the Hwagok Church and was organised by the Health and Welfare Department of the Bartholomew Tribe.
According to organisers, the campaign was designed to support elderly members who may face difficulties visiting hospitals during periods of cold weather. With winter conditions increasing health risks for seniors, the church aimed to provide accessible preventive care within a familiar environment.
A total of 100 senior members participated in the programme. Professional medical staff conducted the following services in sequence: completion of health screening questionnaire, blood pressure measurement, blood glucose testing, basic cognitive screening for dementia, and lifestyle and dietary consultations.
Health questionnaires were structured in a Q&A format, allowing participants to record their current health status, medical history, and family health background. Moreover, blood pressure readings were taken directly by medical personnel using electronic devices to assess potential hypertension risks.
Following medical checks, participants received one-on-one consultations focused on daily habits, nutrition, and overall health management, particularly in preparation of the the winder cold waves and falls.
One attendee who participated in the event said that the medical guidance she received directly at the church relieved her of her worries about having to visit hospital in the freezing weather to check for rising blood pressure (something she had been continually putting off).
Organisers noted that many attendees arrived with concerns, but left feeling reassured after receiving clear explanations and guidance.
Meanwhile, a representative of the Shincheonji Hwagok Church stated that the church plans to continue holding health events for its congregants every month.
