Saiseikai Kure Hospital
About
Saiseikai Kure Hospital is located in Sanjo, Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Founded under the Social Welfare Corporation Onshi Zaidan Saiseikai, established in 1911 (Meiji 44), the hospital has a long history of supporting regional healthcare since opening as the "Saiseikai Kure Clinic" in 1930 (Showa 5). The seven-story steel-framed facility houses 150 beds and offers a wide range of departments including internal medicine, surgery, orthopedic surgery, ophthalmology, psychosomatic medicine, psychiatry, gastroenterology, cardiology, urology, rehabilitation, and dermatology. Designated as a secondary emergency medical institution, the hospital is equipped to provide seamless care from the acute phase through the recovery phase. Notably, community-based integrated care beds have been expanded to 127 out of 150 total beds, strengthening the hospital's capacity to meet the needs of the aging Kure medical region through post-acute rehabilitation, support for returning home, and respite admissions. In terms of equipment, the facility features multi-slice CT scanners with 64 or more detector rows and MRI systems of 3 Tesla or higher. The hospital is also accredited by numerous academic societies, including the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association. English-language assistance is available, and the hospital accepts credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments. A total of 70 parking spaces are provided across two lots, and the barrier-free design ensures a comfortable environment for a wide range of visitors. The hospital is conveniently accessible, approximately a 7-minute walk from JR Kure Station and just steps from the Hiroden Bus stop "Saiseikai Kure Hospital."
