Sunday hours are 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM, but the clinic is closed on Thursdays and holidays, and may be temporarily closed due to the director's medical society attendance.

They also focus on post-COVID condition care and fever clinics, actively conducting blood tests including blood sampling, and performing viral testing for COVID-19, influenza, and streptococcal infections as needed.

When necessary, referrals are made to advanced medical facilities such as Higashihiroshima Medical Center, Hiroshima University Hospital, and Hiroshima Prefectural Hospital.
