Leveraging its specialization, the clinic provides simple sleep apnea testing where patients can monitor decreases in arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate changes at home, as well as more detailed examinations. In preventive medicine, in addition to pneumococcal vaccine, it offers vaccinations for rubella, measles, mumps, Japanese encephalitis, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, cervical cancer, hepatitis B, rubella, and measles, and can also perform rubella antibody testing and measles immunity testing. Since July 2019, it has opened a smoking cessation clinic, and for COVID-19, considering that many patients with high-risk diseases visit, it provides waiting and response measures for those with symptoms such as low-grade fever and cough, including waiting in front of the clinic or in negative pressure booths. In addition to English support, it provides parking and barrier-free accessibility.
