About Us

A university hospital generally has three distinct missions: the treatment of patients, medical research, and education of its students.
Showa University East Hospital is no exception: we have our own mandate and principles to contribute to the advancement of clinical medicine and the development of medical practitioners while providing optimal care to individual patients, in order to fulfil our missions; the same is true for Showa University Hospital.
Therefore, I would like to make sure that our two hospitals work together in a well-coordinated manner, as reputable providers of high-quality acute-phase medical care.

Since our fiscal year 2017, we have greatly improved the equipment being used in the operation rooms and also built a new rehabilitation room at East Hospital, marking another step in our continuous evolution to become a new type of acute-phase healthcare facility.
In addition to our existing clinical departments of ophthalmology, neurology, rheumatology and clinical immunology, neuropsychiatry, and anesthesiology (pain clinic), we have started offering orthopedic examination and surgery, and acute-phase rehabilitation at East Hospital.
With a view to transforming our institution into an innovative hospital that operates in a flexible and agile manner, various departments within our organization will be conducting wide-ranging feasibility studies so that we can start offering various new services at East Hospital and establish ourselves as an essential healthcare center.
In terms of medical safety, we plan on collaborating and coordinating with Showa University Hospital which has a long-standing tradition and system of providing safe and secure medical care, so that we can inherit and improve them further at East Hospital in our own way.
In addition, our hospital has a deep-rooted culture of compassion, valuing and respecting our patients’ will. We will keep upholding and practicing this culture as our most important quality.
Our entire staff are committed to the importance of communicating effectively, empathizing with our patients, respecting their will, and learning from them constantly.
As Hospital Director, I will make sure that our hospital meets the expectations of its patients and other stakeholders while inspiring confidence, mainly through team-based medical care, while always adhering to the principle of Shisei Ikkan set by the founder of our university, which means “contributing to society with absolute sincerity and dedication.”
I greatly appreciate the support and cooperation of all those involved in our hospital.
