About
Tottori University Hospital, affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and located in Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture, is a general hospital providing advanced medical care as part of a university medical institution. The hospital actively pursues cutting-edge medical technologies that reduce physical burden on patients, including robot-assisted surgery and minimally invasive procedures, delivering high-level treatment with safety as the top priority. The hospital offers internal medicine among its clinical departments and has established a multidisciplinary team-based care system, including a cardiac rehabilitation team, providing comprehensive medical support from hospitalization through discharge. The hospital also places emphasis on collaboration with local hospitals and municipal governments, maintaining a community-wide patient support network through its Medical and Welfare Support Center, which coordinates post-discharge care and home nursing services. Outpatient hours run Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 17:00, with initial consultation reception from 8:30 to 10:30 and follow-up reception from 8:30 to 11:00. The hospital is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and during the year-end and New Year period (December 29 through January 3). The hospital has introduced a smartphone app called "Tori-rin-rin" that enables appointment check-in and waiting call notifications, reducing outpatient wait times and improving patient services. English-language assistance is available, and the hospital accepts a variety of payment methods including credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments. Parking facilities and barrier-free accessibility are also provided.
