Sapporo Higashi Tokushukai Hospital marked its 40th anniversary in February 2026.
To date, all staff have worked earnestly to provide patient-centered care. In order to further realize our commitment to providing medical services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without refusing patients, and to ensure rapid examination, diagnosis, and treatment, we commenced operation of Hokkaido’s first hybrid emergency room (Hybrid ER) in 2024. This has enabled us to accept approximately 10,000 emergency cases annually. Our emergency services are supported by four core centers: the Cardiovascular Center, Trauma Center, IVR Center, and Stroke Center. By maintaining a full staffing system around the clock, including nights and holidays, we are able to perform examinations (CT, MRI, endoscopy, and catheterization), catheter-based interventions, and surgical procedures at any time, thereby enhancing our capacity to treat more critically ill patients. In addition, our Super ICU became fully operational in 2025, allowing us to provide higher-quality intensive care under the supervision of board-certified intensivists.
As part of our role in regional healthcare, we also place strong emphasis on cancer care, one of the three major disease areas. In addition to surgery, we provide multidisciplinary treatment through our Chemotherapy Center and Radiation Therapy Center. Our Medical Checkup Center is likewise committed to preventive medicine. Furthermore, our hospital is accredited under the Japan Medical Service Accreditation for International Patients (JMIP), and we actively accept patients from overseas who do not speak Japanese as their native language. The International Medical Support Office is staffed with medical interpreters, enabling us to provide continuous support. As of April 2026, the Tokushukai Group operates 11 hospitals in Hokkaido. Together, we will continue striving to provide enhanced medical services and to meet the needs of all patients, not only from the local community but also from across Japan and around the world. Our goal is to be a hospital where every patient feels that they are glad they came. We sincerely appreciate your continued support.
April 2026 Hospital Director, Sapporo Higashi Tokushukai Hospital Seiji Yamazaki, M.D.
