Nakano Kinen Hospital
About
Nakano Memorial Hospital, operated by Jinkeikai Medical Corporation, is a community-oriented hospital located in Asahicho, Ashibetsu City, Hokkaido, offering internal medicine and psychiatry services. Under the guiding philosophy of 'striving to be a medical institution open to the community and trusted by its residents,' the hospital conducts daily medical care and operations under the leadership of Dr. Masato Konno, who has served as chairman and director since 2021. Morning consultations are held from 9:00 to 12:00, while afternoon psychiatry appointments are available by reservation or in emergencies only, and afternoon internal medicine consultations run Tuesday through Friday from 13:30 to 17:00. The hospital is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. The hospital places great importance on respecting patients' rights, striving to reflect patients' own wishes as fully as possible in major decisions such as treatment plans and admission or discharge. The principle of normalization, which actively supports patients' social participation through community collaboration, is also a cornerstone of the hospital's policy. The facility offers a parking lot and is fully barrier-free, making it easily accessible for those arriving by car or those with physical disabilities. English-language assistance is also available, ensuring that those who have difficulty communicating in Japanese can still receive care with ease.
