About
Medical Corporation Keikai Sugadaira Kogen Clinic is located in Sugadaira Kogen, Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture, providing internal medicine services in a highland resort area at an altitude exceeding 1,500 meters. Sugadaira Kogen is nationally known as a training camp destination for rugby and various sports, as well as a popular ski resort area, and the clinic serves as a healthcare provider responding to the needs of this environment. The clinic is operated by Social Medical Corporation Keikai, headquartered in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, which continues to provide community-based medical care. Clinic hours are primarily scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, though during summer and winter seasons, the clinic may open daily to accommodate tourism and training camp demand. Operating schedules are determined based on physician and staff availability, with flexible management maintained through coordination with local tourism associations. The facility includes parking, ensuring easy access for those arriving by car from the highland area. Barrier-free access is also provided, allowing patients with physical disabilities to visit with confidence. For billing, credit cards and electronic payments are accepted, accommodating those without cash on hand. Given the highland location, there are many situations requiring response to sudden illness or sports-related health changes, and the clinic functions as a community-oriented medical facility meeting these needs.
