Since it was founded in 1977, the ASAN Foundation has been providing non-profit programs in social and medical welfare, scholarship, and academic research. The ASAN Foundation has opened hospitals in rural areas where modern medical resources are scarce. They’re fulfilling the founder, late Chairman Chung Ju-yung’s, mission of “serving the neediest in our society.”
