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.
