"Start your healthy and happy life with us”

Welcome to Hallym University Medical Center website.

Since the establishment of Hallym University Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital in 1971, Hallym University Medical Center (HUMC) has opened four more hospitals: Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, and Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital. As one of the largest medical institutions in Korea, HUMC provides high-quality care to approximately 8,800 outpatients and 2,500 inpatients a day.

HUMC’s grand vision to be a “Mighty Global Player” with medical excellence has started to bear fruit through collaboration with the world’s renowned medical and educational institutions in the U.S., Sweden, Finland, Italy, Japan and China. By sharing the latest medical knowledge and top notch technology, HUMC has grown into an institution with a competitive edge. Moreover, our highly-skilled medical professionals practice precision medicine tailored for each patient using cutting-edge equipment at multidisciplinary specialized centers. With years of dedication of the staff, HUMC has both become a research-driven hospital and a patient-centered hospital.

To cope with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, HUMC has established an institute for basic medicine, a clinical research center, and Hallym Institute for Medical Simulation. As a leading educational and medical institution, HUMC is putting its utmost efforts to strengthen the clinical and research capabilities as well as its global competitiveness by leveraging the latest technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data solutions, 3D printing, IoT, and blockchain.

In 2006, Hallym set up a digitalized and integrated hospital information system called “RefoMax,” a first of its kind in Korea. In 2010, Hallym also has launched the nation’s first mobile prescription program, “Smart RefoMax OCS/EMR System.” These have not only improved the patients’ convenience but also contributed to promoting medical research and increasing the quality of care, which in turn have successfully created a ubiquitous environment.

HUMC has also devoted itself to helping out the under-privileged by providing free medical services in remote villages. In 1975, Hallym operated the nation’s first charity hospital, “Sacred Heart Charity Hospital,” and it has been running welfare centers such as Shinlim Welfare Center, Yeongdeungpo Senior Welfare Center, and the Dong-an Senior Public Health Center. Moreover, it has joined several medical assistance projects in Iraq, Vietnam, Kenya, Paraguay designed by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). In addition, Hallym carries out philanthropic activities by dispatching doctors and nurses to the site of natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.

Our 6,000 employees here at HUMC are dedicated to helping patients start healthy and happy life. We promise that we’ll put the patient first and always be with you.

Thank you
