Satellite Clinic Chiribetsu
About
Located in Chirisibetsu-cho, Muroran City, Hokkaido, Satellite Clinic Chirisibetsu is a clinic specializing in internal medicine and hemodialysis. True to its "satellite" name, it operates in collaboration with the region's core medical institutions, providing patients who require dialysis treatment with an environment where they can receive continuous medical care in their familiar community. Hemodialysis is an essential life-sustaining treatment for patients with reduced kidney function, requiring regular visits multiple times a week. To reduce the burden of such frequent visits, the clinic provides on-site parking and features a fully barrier-free facility design, allowing patients using wheelchairs or with physical limitations to access care with peace of mind. Additionally, English-speaking support is available, ensuring that patients whose native language is not Japanese can also receive appropriate care. Medical services are primarily provided on weekdays, and the clinic is closed on weekends, holidays, and the year-end and New Year period (December 30 to January 3). As a dialysis-specialized clinic serving the southern area of Muroran City, it successfully combines an accessible environment with specialized medical care.
