DeWitt S. Lowe, who was called Ro duoik, visited Korea with his wife Gladys on September 28, 1929 and was immediately appointed as the director of Cheongju Somin Hospital. In the late 1930s, when Director Low was in office, the number of patients at Somin Hospital increased from 5,000 to 8,000 and 5,500 copies of evangelism were distributed throughout 1936. In the spring of 1937, a flood occurred in Cheongju, and the Somin Hospital became a shelter for the people of Cheongju and treated poor patients for free, so there was no one in Cheongju who did not know him.

Lowe, who actively opposed visiting the shrine, recovered all of it again by going around the Christian family house with the missionary D-Camp when the Japanese imperialism distributed the Kamidana tablets to each family in January 1941. As a result, he was arrested by the Japanese police and imprisoned in Daejeon Prison, and the Daejeon District Court ruled on April 9, 1941 that he did not respect the gentleman and interfered with the worship of the gentleman.He was sentenced to 10 months in prison and labor. He appealed this and was tried again by the Joseon High Court, sentenced to two years of probation, and released on July 22, 1941. He was deported and returned to the United States on August 6.

After liberation, Lowe visited Korea again and was deployed to Daegu. From 1946 to 1948, he served as the second chief of ophthalmology and otolaryngology. At that time, the hospital's income was about 33.66 billion won, and the total expenditure was 33.13 billion KRW. At that time, 132 people worked in the hospital, including 14 doctors, 7 interns, 22 graduated nurses, 17 student nurses, and 72 other employees.

Every morning, all faculty members of the hospital worshiped under the guidance of an employee or an instructor brought from outside before starting hospital work. At that time, thanks to Lowe and Lawrence Nursing Missionaries' resumption of worship, faculty members who gained spiritual supply and power were able to endure all difficult situations.

According to a 1948 report by hospital director Roy Smith, Lowe then associated the vice president of the Aerakwon. At that time, 750 leprosy people were accommodated in the orphanage, and after hearing the miraculous treatment results of diazon or promin in the treatment of leprosy patients, they used it to treat all of them on a trial basis, but there was a limit due to a lack of drugs. Lowe resigned as a missionary in 1956 and returned one’s country.
