Jaseng opened in 1988,[4] specializing in Integrative Medicine. With non-invasive treatment methods unique to Jaseng such as Motion Style Acupuncture Treatment (MSAT) and Western therapies, the hospital treats over 250,000 patients a year, equaling a total of 1.6 million treatment sessions. Jaseng is home to 30 specialized clinics with 379 physicians. Over 1,300 inpatient beds are available.[4]
The hospital employs diagnostic equipment, including MRI and CT scanners, in addition to Korean medicine therapies. Physical manual therapy is implemented concurrently to promote healing and to prevent recurrence.[5]
Jaseng has conducted collaborative research with the University of California-Irvine School of Medicine and other US institutions. The honorary chairman of the Jaseng Medical Foundation, Dr. Shin, was invited to lecture at the Osteopathic Medical Education Conference (OMED) 2018, the largest osteopathic medical event attended by more than 20,000 US DOs.[6]
