About
Higashi Sapporo Hospital, a medical corporation located in Shiroishi Ward, Sapporo, has served as a cornerstone of community healthcare for over 40 years since its founding in 1983, guided by the philosophy that "the essence of medicine lies in compassion." Specializing in internal medicine, the hospital delivers comprehensive, integrated care spanning health promotion, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, addressing a broad range of medical needs from inpatient facilities to home care. A defining feature of the hospital is its commitment to comprehensive cancer care and palliative medicine.

In 1988, the hospital established a sister-hospital relationship with Calvary Hospital in New York, building international expertise in cancer palliative care. Since 2014, it has also hosted an international research conference on cancer palliative supportive therapy, contributing to the advancement of palliative care as a scientific discipline.
