The hospital awarded a total of 20 million won, or 2 million won each, to 10 university students selected based on factors including their academic performance and household circumstances.

The recipients include descendants of Kim Seonggeun, who served as a member of the Provisional Assembly of the Republic of Korea and head of the National Salvation Adventure Group; Lee I-gyeong, who took part in the independence demonstrations in Uiseong, North Gyeongsang Province; and Lee Junmyeong, who participated in the independence demonstrations in Osu-ri, Imsil, North Jeolla Province. They are continuing their studies and research with the goal of becoming experts in sports rehabilitation, next-generation batteries, and food and nutrition.

Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine's support for descendants continues the charitable work of its founder Dr. Shin Jun-sik's father, Shin Gwang-ryeol, an independence patriot. Even after being imprisoned for his anti-Japanese activities, Shin Gwang-ryeol treated independence activists and worked for Korea's independence and the development of Korean medicine.

Shin Minsik, director of Jamsil Jaseng Hospital, said, "We will continue to be a strong source of support so that descendants of independence patriots can ease their financial burden and realize their potential."

In February 2026, Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine signed a business agreement with the Korean Liberation Association on scholarship and medical support programs for descendants of independence patriots. It also awarded scholarships to descendants in June 2026 and has continued its social contribution activities related to veterans' affairs, including support for the living expenses of veterans' families. Most recently, it received the 25th Veterans Culture Award, presented by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs.
