Greetings/Vision

Greeting from Chairman

Tokyo Hikifune Hospital has a long history as Shirahigebashi Hospital since before WWII. In 2017 we moved to the new location adjacent to Tobu Railway Hikifune Station. In addition to the emergency medical care and disaster medical care we have been focusing on, we are further enhancing acute phase medical care of cardiology, orthopedics, and neurosurgery.

In order to prepare for the aging society, we run Belair Mukojima Support Center for the Elderly, Shirahige home nursing station, Life Support Nurse Mukojima, a multi-functional nursing office, and a community comprehensive support center.

Please hope for the future of Tokyo Hikifune Hospital.

Message from Director

I am pleased to announce that I have assumed the position of Director of Tokyo Hikifune Hospital as of April 1, 2025. I have accumulated experience as a professor and vice president at Fujita Health University and as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine, and have worked to improve the quality of medical care and develop regional medical care. With these experiences, I will further strengthen the provision of community-based medical care.

The Sumida and Joto areas are areas with an aging population and diverse medical needs. In the area of emergency medical care, our hospital has accepted a large number of ambulances and has played a role as the last bastion of acute care in the Joto region. As a Tokyo Metropolitan Government-designated secondary emergency medical institution and Core Disaster Base Hospital, we will continue to protect the lives and health of local residents by providing a safe and secure medical care system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition, we will contribute to the creation of an environment where people can live with peace of mind in their familiar neighborhoods by promoting preventive medicine, supporting patients’ return to their homes, and enhancing comprehensive community care.

While continuing to build on the trust and achievements of Director Yamamoto, we will aim to create a hospital that meets the medical needs of the new era. We are committed to building a better medical environment by placing importance on cooperation with local residents and healthcare professionals.

We look forward to your continued support.
