About
Saiseikai Arida Hospital, located in Yuasa Town, Arida District, Wakayama Prefecture, is a community-based hospital belonging to the Saiseikai Group. It provides medical care primarily in internal medicine, and has recently expanded its services with the establishment of a breast surgery department. Dr. Shuichi Ito, the hospital's director, regularly appears on the local radio program 'WBS Radio Health Consultation' on Wakayama Broadcasting, sharing medical information on a wide range of topics including gastroesophageal reflux disease, colorectal conditions, and the relationship between alcohol and health. This active involvement in community health education is one of the hospital's distinguishing features. Operating hours are weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, with closures on Sundays, public holidays, and the first Saturday of each month. The hospital also hosts the annual 'Saiseikai Arida Medical Welfare Center Health Festa,' contributing to the health promotion of local residents. Facilities include a parking lot and barrier-free accessibility, creating an environment that is easy for a wide range of patients to use. English assistance is available, and payment can be made by credit card or electronic payment. The hospital has also focused on improving its medical equipment with community support, including successfully reaching its crowdfunding goal to update its mammography equipment.
