Yamane Hospital
About
Yamane Hospital, operated by the medical corporation Jiseikai, is located in Atsuta-cho, Hamada City, Shimane Prefecture. The hospital specializes in internal medicine with a particular focus on diabetes and lifestyle-related diseases. It is home to one of the few certified diabetes educators in the Chugoku region, and holds accreditation as a Japan Diabetes Society-certified educational facility and a Japan Endocrine Society-certified educational facility for endocrinology and metabolism. Patients receive detailed guidance from specialist diabetes educators on daily lifestyle management and dietary therapy. The hospital also maintains a collaborative care system with other departments such as ophthalmology, and a multidisciplinary team of nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, and physical therapists provides comprehensive treatment support. The hospital also has an established reputation for surgical treatment of hemorrhoids—a specialty of the director—drawing patients from a wide area. In 2005, the facility underwent major renovations and expanded its capacity, marking a new chapter as Jiseikai Medical Corporation. A branch clinic in Misumi is also affiliated, contributing to regional healthcare. Outpatient hours are 8:30–12:00 in the morning and 15:00–18:00 in the afternoon (14:00–17:00 for some departments), with closures on Sundays, public holidays, Obon, and the year-end/New Year period. The facility is fully barrier-free with on-site parking, and English-language assistance is available. Online eligibility verification via My Number Card is supported, and lifestyle disease prevention checkups are offered for both individuals and corporations, reflecting the hospital's commitment to preventive healthcare.
