The two sides plan joint work on education, awareness, financial support for patients and families, and staff exchanges. They will also expand programmes such as memory‑friend leader training, cognitive health and financial protection initiatives, and dementia‑safe counselling. A ceremony marking Hana Bank’s designation as a dementia‑friendly company was held at the Euljiro lounge.
