Kin-ikyo Sapporo Hospital
About
Kiniikyou Sapporo Hospital, located in Kikusui, Shiroishi Ward, Sapporo City, is operated by the Hokkaido Workers' Medical Association, a public interest corporation. Its primary specialty is internal medicine, providing general internal medicine care ranging from routine health management to a wide range of conditions for local residents. A defining feature of the hospital is its commitment to creating a medical environment accessible to people of all ages, guided by the principle of "supporting everyone from infants to the elderly." Furthermore, as expressed in the director's words — "we aspire to be a hospital that protects those facing social hardship due to poverty, inequality, and isolation" — ensuring medical access for people in economically and socially difficult circumstances forms the very foundation of the hospital's mission. In terms of facilities, the premises include an on-site parking lot and are fully barrier-free, allowing wheelchair users and elderly patients to visit with confidence. The availability of English-language medical consultations is another strength, ensuring that non-Japanese speakers face minimal communication barriers. Regarding payment, the hospital accepts credit cards and electronic payments, enabling cashless transactions. Closed days include public holidays, year-end and New Year's periods, as well as the 2nd and 4th Saturdays and most Sundays, so it is advisable to confirm the schedule in advance when planning a visit.
