Consultation hours are weekdays from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, with Saturday morning sessions only. The clinic is closed on Sundays and public holidays, as well as during the New Year and Bon holidays, so patients should confirm opening days before visiting. The clinic places strong emphasis on infection control, with an infection control manager overseeing manual development based on standard precautions, and all staff working together to implement preventive measures. For suspected highly infectious diseases such as influenza or COVID-19, a system is in place to separate these patients from general consultations by time. The clinic also maintains collaborative relationships with core hospitals, regularly receiving information and advice to improve infection control practices. Long-term prescriptions of 28 days or more are available depending on the patient's condition, and the clinic provides consultations on health management based on health checkup results as well as guidance on utilizing health and welfare services. The clinic strengthens collaboration with various professionals including certified care managers, and responds to after-hours inquiries for patients receiving home visits. The facility includes parking and is barrier-free, accommodating patients arriving by car or using wheelchairs. Through these initiatives, the clinic serves as a healthcare institution supporting the health of local residents.
