This research, which is designed to introduce the concept of the WHO’s health promoting hospital project to Korea, was conducted in a total of 34 local hospitals across the nation. To evaluate the level of health promotion at hospitals, an evaluation index for health promoting hospital environments was made using the Analytic Hierarchy Process Decision-Making Method, from which a total of 20 questions were developed in the five areas of no-smoking, moderation in drink, exercise, nutrition and rest in Korea. Through this analysis, it was found that local hospitals across the nation were on average excellent in terms of their no-smoking environments, but poor in their rest and moderation in drink environments. A comparison of local public hospital environments by region showed that Busan, Daegu, and South Gyeongsang Province were good, while South Chungcheng Province, Jeju Province and Gwangwon Province were poor. In terms of the number of beds, mid-size local hospitals (200-299 beds) came first. This research revealed that local hospitals across the nation had different health promotion environments according to area and size, and in particular, their environments for rest and moderation in drink turned out to be lacking, which vividly showed that these areas desperately needed to be supplemented in order to introduce the concept of health promotion at hospitals in Korea.
