Izumo Shimin Rehabilitation Hospital
About
Izumo Municipal Rehabilitation Hospital, located in Chiimiya-cho, Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture, was established as a specialized rehabilitation hospital in 2005, succeeding the former Second Izumo Municipal Hospital. Operating under the philosophy of "respecting the rights of each individual and providing rehabilitation medicine aimed at independence," the hospital offers services focused on convalescent-phase rehabilitation medicine. The facility lists internal medicine as its clinical department and provides recovery-phase rehabilitation centered on helping patients who have completed acute care treatment return to their home environment. In terms of facilities, the hospital offers a fully equipped parking lot and is barrier-free accessible, creating an environment considerate of patients with physical limitations. The hospital is also notable for its multilingual support, including English and other languages. Through participation in regional rehabilitation zone conferences and medical function allocation deliberation meetings, the hospital collaborates with local public health and medical administration, playing a role in convalescent-phase medical care within the Izumo region. The hospital operates on a reservation-based inpatient system, enabling planned medical care delivery. Closed days include Saturdays, Sundays, national holidays, and the year-end and New Year period. Under a nursing care system that leverages specialized skills required for rehabilitation medicine, the hospital is committed to supporting patient independence and facilitating their return to home life.
