Hospital Where Patients Can Entrust Their Lives
We are committed to making every effort to protect the lives and health of our patients with the mission of protecting the lives and health of everyone, in accordance with the philosophy of Tokushukai as advocated by Dr. Torao Tokuda, the founder of Tokushukai: "All living beings are created equal," "A hospital where people can entrust their lives," and "Anybody in society is to receive the best possible medical care anywhere, whenever necessary."
In 1980, the Tokushukai Group opened Chigasaki Tokushukai General Hospital, the first hospital in the Kanto region, and in 2012, the hospital was renamed Shonan Fujisawa Tokushukai Hospital and relocated to its current location. Our mission is to provide the best possible medical care to the people of the community by offering general outpatient services as well as various types of specialized outpatient services. Furthermore, we strive to provide preventive medicine and medical knowledge through comprehensive health checkups and public medical lectures. It is also a core clinical training facility that is accredited by various medical associations and accepts more than a dozen residents each year.
Highly Advanced Medical Treatment
We have established a highly advanced and safe medical care and treatment system featuring hybrid operating rooms, 320-slice CT scanners, 3-Tesla MRI systems, radiation therapy devices (Versa, Novalis), robotic Da Vinci surgery, and robotic spinal surgery.
We have obtained accreditation through the Hospital Function Evaluation by the Japan Healthcare Accreditation Organization. Furthermore, we have established medical safety management systems and ethical consulting frameworks, conduct medical safety training for our staff, and strive to keep pace with and provide the latest advancements in medical fields such as AI, robotics, and biotechnology. We will also strive to improve the medical skills and attitudes of all staff members and work closely with the physicians at local clinics to earn the trust of our patients.
Medical Care without Refusal
On average, approximately 1,000 patients visit our outpatient clinics each day. As a designated emergency hospital, we receive around 10,000 ambulances per year. We are also a Kanagawa Prefecture disaster cooperation hospital with an earthquake-resistant structure, its own power generator, satellite phone, and emergency severity index, and participates in wide-area disaster Emergency Medical Information System. In addition, we have international medical support center and a multi-lingual support system, and have acquired the certification as Japan Medical Service Accreditation for International Patients “JMIP.” We also belong to the Fujisawa City Medical Association and work closely with other medical institutions and the government.
Hospital Where One's Health and Living Are Assured
We will contribute to the realization of a society where "All living beings are created equal," "A hospital where people can entrust their lives," and "Anybody in society is to receive the best possible medical care anywhere, whenever necessary," as advocated by Honorary Chairman Dr. Torao Tokuda of Tokushukai. We sincerely appreciate the warm guidance and cooperation of all concerned.
Spine and Scoliosis Center
I also serve as the Director of the Spine and Scoliosis Center. For detailed information on the number of surgeries performed since the center's opening in August 2004, please refer to the center’s official website. Since its establishment, the center has performed over 5,000 spine surgeries, including more than 1,300 scoliosis surgeries for both young and elderly patients. In our Hybrid Spine Operating Room, nearly 30,000 navigation-assisted vertebral screw insertions have been carried out, with over 3,000 of these performed using robotic assistance. Patients with scoliosis come to us not only from Kanagawa Prefecture but from all across Japan in search of specialized care. We remain committed to continually advancing both the quality and scope of our services in order to better support individuals living with spinal conditions.
