Kitasato University East Hospital

Providing Quality Care for an Aging Society

The East Hospital was inaugurated in 1986 to complement the role of Kitasato

University Hospital and meet the needs of an aging society. While contributing to

regional healthcare through high-quality, safe and advanced treatment, the Hospital

also provides practical education by making its facilities available for student

training. It seeks to educate the next generation of healthcare providers and

contribute to society by developing medical technology through research carried out

by co-medical staff and clinical researchers.

Kitasato University Kitasato Institute Hospital

Providing Compassionate, Patient-centered Healthcare

The forerunner of Kitasato Institute Hospital was Tsukushigaoka Yojoen, established

by Shibasaburo Kitasato in 1893. Under the motto "Practical and Compassionate

Care," the Hospital's fundamental policy rests on four pillars: clinical medicine,

education, research, and crisis management. On this basis the Hospital is engaged

in comprehensive healthcare from preventive medicine to the research,

development, and provision of cutting-edge healthcare, as well as Oriental medicine.

The Hospital has built a good collaborative relationship with regional healthcare

institutions, corporations and other organizations, working together as a team, and it

actively contributes to regional healthcare.

Kitasato University Medical Center

Contributing to the Community through Team Medicine

Established in 1989 in a verdant setting, and embracing compassionate treatment as

its motto, the Hospital offers safe, leading-edge healthcare and healing. It practices

team medicine by collaborating physicians and medical staff and, as a

comprehensive medical-care educational institution, the Hospital continues to

educate and train future generations of medical practitioners. Further, by maintaining

the most advanced medical equipment, by providing a fully developed medical

environment, and in other ways, the Hospital contributes to, and supports, the

healthcare of the regional community.

Kitasato University Oriental Medicine Research Center

Oriental Medicine Research Center: A pioneer in exploring the wisdom of Oriental

medicine

Since its establishment in 1972, the Center has played a pioneering role in the study

of Oriental medicine. In 1986, it became the first Japanese institution to be

designated as a WHO Collaborating Center for Traditional Medicine. In the clinical

department featuring Kampo (Japanese herbal) medicine and acupuncture, experts

on Oriental medicine practice patient-focused treatments with a “human” touch. The

Center will continue to focus on research, using Western medicine to complement

Oriental medicine, to realize comprehensive healthcare practiced at an even higher

level.
