Beginning in 2024 with Naero Village in Gwaryeok-myeon, the health programs have been operated in designated villages each year: Dongjeong Village in Geumsan-myeon in 2025, and Yehoe Village in Duwon-myeon and Seonjeong Village in Namyang-myeon in 2026.

This health experience booth, in collaboration with the Rural Talent Healthy Rural Creation Project of the Korea Association of Life Safety and Health, visited villages directly to provide a range of health management services. These included basic health check-ups such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, oral and nutrition education, exercises to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, and safe living experience activities.

Residents checked their health status on site and received consultations with professionals, expressing high levels of satisfaction.

Additionally, residents responded positively to the outreach health service program, as it allowed them to learn about health management in an easy and enjoyable way.

An official from the county public health center stated, "We will do our best to continuously provide accessible outreach health services that residents can truly experience, so that the resident-led, self-sustaining Chunsu Healthy Village initiative can continue to expand."

Meanwhile, based on the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in June 2026 with the Korea Association of Life Safety and Health and the Goheung County Sports Council to promote public health and healthy living, the county plans to further strengthen its public-private cooperation network and continuously expand its public health promotion projects.
