About
Hoshigaoka Hospital, located in Katahiramachi, Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, is a general hospital centered on psychiatry and operated by the Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Hoshi General Hospital. Established in November 1985, it has 555 approved beds and offers a wide range of medical departments including psychiatry, neurology, psychosomatic medicine, internal medicine, rehabilitation, and dentistry. The hospital's medical philosophy is "Irei" (Medical Spirit), a concept established by its founder Ichiro Hoshi, which emphasizes bridging evidence-based medicine with the emotions and hearts of each patient. It addresses a broad spectrum of conditions, from mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia to stress-related physical symptoms and childhood developmental disorders, and also provides counseling by clinical psychologists. Treatment is provided not only on an outpatient basis but also through a stepwise approach from inpatient care to community reintegration, with a comprehensive support system that includes home nursing stations, daycare services, and collaboration with community work facilities. The hospital features diverse facilities including a hot spring large bath, gymnasium, baseball field, farm, and walking paths, broadly supporting patient rehabilitation and quality of life improvement. It is accredited by the Japan Council for Quality Health Care, and offers English language support, parking, and barrier-free facilities.
