Lee Hyun-sam is the founder of the world's first double-sided frying pan brand. Since selling his company, which had annual revenue of 200 billion won, in 2016, he has drawn public attention for emphasizing the importance of more essential values in life, health among them.
Mr. Lee Hyun-sam first came to know St. Peter's Hospital through Director Lee, Choon Sung of the Spine Center. As he and his family received treatment at the hospital, he came to share President Yoon's philosophy of patient-centered care and sharing medical care, and this led to the donation.
In response, President Yoon, Kangjun added 30 million won of his own money to the 30 million won donated by Lee Hyun-sam, creating a fund of 60 million won in total, which will be used to support surgery and treatment for epilepsy patients in financial difficulty.
Lee Hyun-sam said, “I decided to make this donation in the hope that it will help the recovery of epilepsy patients who struggle with treatment because of cost and circumstances.” He added, “I want to keep living a life of giving, adding a little warmth wherever society needs it most.”
President Yoon, Kangjun said, “We will make sure this donation is put to good use supporting epilepsy patients in urgent need of surgery and treatment, so that it becomes an even more meaningful act of sharing.” He added, “As a leading general hospital in the Gangnam area, we will continue to actively support underserved areas of care and to share medical resources with our community.”
