About
Nodoka Clinic, located in Iijima Town, Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture, is a medical facility specializing in internal medicine and pediatrics that opened in April 2007. Director Kunio Nomura's philosophy as a primary care physician is clearly expressed in the clinic's guiding principle: "Please share your concerns with us first, and let's think through them together." The clinic's diagnostic capabilities are comprehensive for a local practice, offering a wide range of examinations including blood and urine tests, Holter ECG, abdominal, thyroid, and carotid artery ultrasound, bone density measurement, simplified testing for sleep apnea syndrome, and 75g oral glucose tolerance test. Rapid diagnostic tests for influenza, norovirus, and Helicobacter pylori are also available, and vaccinations cover nearly all types, including the intranasal influenza vaccine (FluMist). The clinic places strong emphasis on infection control, maintaining a nosocomial infection prevention system in collaboration with Showa Ina General Hospital, and is designated as a second-type affiliated medical institution. It also provides management for lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes with long-term prescriptions available, while maintaining close coordination with nursing care and welfare providers to deliver community-oriented healthcare. English support is available, and the facility is equipped with parking and barrier-free accessibility features.
