About
Hokkaido Prefectural Midorigaoka Hospital is located in Midorigaoka, Otofuke Town, Kato District, Hokkaido, and is a publicly operated psychiatric specialty hospital established and managed by Hokkaido Prefecture. As one of the prefectural hospitals under the Hokkaido Prefectural Hospital Bureau, it serves as a key hub for psychiatric care in the Tokachi region and has long supported the mental health and welfare of local residents. The hospital maintains a highly specialized medical system focused on psychiatry, providing comprehensive care for a wide range of mental disorders through both inpatient and outpatient services. English-language support is available at the hospital, ensuring that patients who have difficulty communicating in Japanese can receive appropriate assistance. The entire facility is barrier-free, with accommodations that allow wheelchair users and individuals with physical limitations to visit with ease. On-site parking is also available, making it convenient for patients traveling by private vehicle—an important consideration given that public transportation in Otofuke Town is limited. Medical services are primarily conducted on weekdays, with the hospital closed on weekends, public holidays, and during the year-end and New Year period (December 29 to January 3). As a public medical institution supporting Hokkaido's psychiatric care system, the hospital plays a vital role in safeguarding the mental health of the local community.
