About
Ishibashi Clinic, located in Yanagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is a clinic with over a century of history serving the local community since its founding in 1921 (Taisho 10). Under the fourth-generation director, Dr. Kosuke Ishibashi, the clinic offers a wide range of medical services including internal medicine, diabetology, orthopedics, and pain clinic, as well as fever consultations, health check-ups, and vaccinations. A particularly notable feature of the clinic is its focus on diabetes care. The "Kurashi no Hokenshi" (Community Health Room) embodies the philosophy of food as medicine, where certified diabetes educators and registered dietitians collaborate to provide nutritional guidance utilizing a kitchen studio. The clinic is equipped with comprehensive in-house facilities including an HbA1c analyzer, nerve conduction testing device, blood pressure pulse wave analyzer, and 24-hour Holter electrocardiograph, enabling specialized examinations to be completed on-site. A cooperative network has also been established with nearby medical institutions such as Takaki Hospital and Kurume University Hospital, facilitating smooth referrals to specialist care when needed. Payment is accepted via credit card and electronic money, and English-language assistance is available. With parking for 30 vehicles and a barrier-free design, the clinic is committed to creating an accessible environment. The facility, which received an Excellence Award at the Fukuoka Prefecture Beautiful Town Development Architecture Award, serves as a community-based family doctor supporting the health management of patients across all generations.
