Severance Health Promotion Center – The Health Promotion Center of Severance Hospital, which opened as part of the new Yonsei foundation building on the site of the old Severance Hospital in front of Seoul Station, was established to accomplish health diagnosis using the most advanced medical technologies and educational counseling in a pleasant environment on the basis of a commemorative, historical project. The center has been performing successful diagnoses for many patients since its opening in June 1994. Since opening, Severance Health Promotion Center has helped several thousand local and international patients gain personal victories in their own confrontation with disease and have become the leaders of the movement toward improved and healthy lifestyles.

International Focus and Languages – In addition to treating patients from Korea, Severance Health Promotion Center frequently sees patients from all corners of the globe. Clinical staff is supplemented by trained medical translators, thereby facilitating effective communication between EBIS patients and staff. Effective communication is essential especially in a clinical setting. To ensure excellent communication, the center provides free translator services for different languages commonly used by EBIS clients

Defining excellence in Korean healthcare

Severance Hospital was founded in 1885 and is Korea’s first westernized hospital. With the cooperation of the Korean government, two Americans, businessman and philanthropist Louis H. Severance and medical missionary Dr. Horace N. Allen launched what is now Korea’s most globally advanced hospital. Severance’s success stems from the explicit expectations that come from being Korea’s first and the best. They have made their mark on medical history as a role model and a leader to other prominent health care institutions.

Severance Hospital has received accreditation from the Joint Commission International (JCI) for the first time in Korea, and has been acknowledged for employing state-of-the-art medical technology, including robotic surgery, to provide the highest standard of medical care to its patients.

World-Class University Hospital built on the Principle of being the “First” and the “Best”

With its 128-year-long tradition, Yonsei University Health System is Korea’s representative medical center and has set many benchmarks as being the “first” and the “best” in Korean medical history. Gangnam Severance Hospital was established in 1983 to provide accessible healthcare for the Gangnam area, a hub of the Korean economy, and to continue Yonsei University Health System’s ascent toward the pinnacle of the medical world.

The primacy of Gangnam Severance Hospital was confirmed yet again with its April 2010 accreditation from the Joint Commission International (JCI) – the first for any hospital in the Gangnam region. Gangnam Severance Hospital, which has established a world-class medical system while spearheading the improvement of regional medicine, is experiencing a rebirth at the forefront of the global medical world and evolving into an institution on which patients across the world can rely.
