Konan Hospital
About
Kōnan Hospital, located in Otome, Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, is a medical facility primarily offering internal medicine services that broadly meets the daily healthcare needs of local residents. The hospital has been continuously upgrading its examination facilities, including the installation of a state-of-the-art CT scanner (June 2024), renewal of mammography equipment (May 2024), and introduction of a new bone density measurement device (April 2024), thereby strengthening its diagnostic and examination capabilities for a wide range of diseases. In April 2024, a specialist in cardiology joined the team, enhancing the hospital's capacity to treat cardiovascular conditions. As an infection prevention measure for patients at high risk of severe illness, the hospital requires patients and visitors to wear masks at all times, striving to maintain a safe treatment environment. The facility features barrier-free design and includes parking, ensuring accessibility for patients with physical disabilities and those arriving by car. The hospital is equipped to provide services in multiple languages, including English and Korean, creating an accessible environment for patients whose primary language is not Japanese. Additionally, an electronic medical record system was launched in December 2023, improving the efficiency of medical information management. The hospital also operates an adjacent long-term care health facility for the elderly, establishing an integrated system where medical care and long-term care are seamlessly coordinated—a distinctive feature of this institution.
