Utsuminé Clinic
About
Located in Ozakada, Sukagawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, Utsumine Clinic provides internal medicine services centered on home care, offering views of the rich natural environment of Utsumineyama. The clinic's core initiative is home visitation care, where physicians regularly visit patients who have difficulty traveling to the clinic for examinations, treatment, medication, and health consultations. The facility is equipped to provide opioid-based pain relief therapy for terminal cancer patients, home oxygen therapy, and end-of-life care at home, offering comprehensive support for patients and their families. A key feature of the clinic is its collaboration with visiting nurses, care managers, helpers, and administrative agencies to provide care support rooted in the patients' daily lives. The clinic also provides ongoing medical support, including arranging hospitalizations in case of sudden changes in condition. General outpatient care is also available, with appointments required for all examinations. Additionally, online medical consultations have been introduced to reduce the burden of travel and waiting times. With English-speaking staff, on-site parking, and barrier-free design, the clinic offers an accessible environment for patients in various situations.
