What Social welfare corporation Ryokufukai Hospital does

Social Welfare Corporation Ryokufukai (社会福祉法人緑風会) is a Japanese non-profit healthcare and elderly care organization founded October 15, 1951 in Higashimurayama City, Tokyo. It operates Ryokufuso Hospital (緑風荘病院), a 199-bed general hospital with internal medicine, surgery, cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, rehabilitation, and other departments, plus specialized units including a recovery rehabilitation ward for post-stroke and post-fracture patients and a 33-bed dialysis center operating on a two-shift Monday-Saturday schedule. Adjacent to the hospital, the organization runs Green Voice (グリーンボイス), a 118-bed nursing care health facility with short-term stay and 60-place day rehabilitation services, staffed by approximately 40 rehabilitation specialists with around 30 years of rehabilitation experience.

The organization's revenue model is anchored in Japan's universal health insurance and long-term care insurance systems, billing for acute medical care, rehabilitation, dialysis, and long-term care services. Additional revenue streams include commissioned municipal welfare services — specifically the Minami Regional Comprehensive Support Center operated on behalf of Higashimurayama City — and home-based services including the Ryokufuso Home Visit Care Station and the Designated Home Care Management Office. The facility serves approximately 350+ outpatients daily and employs 380 total staff (243 full-time and 137 part-time). The organization also operates a free/reduced-cost medical services program (無料低額診療事業) for economically disadvantaged patients as part of its social welfare mandate.

Customer segments are focused on the elderly population of Higashimurayama City and surrounding western Tokyo, with geographic concentration as a defining characteristic. The care continuum spans acute hospital treatment, recovery rehabilitation, residential long-term care, day rehabilitation, and home-based services, all integrated under one corporation with shared medical records and care teams. The facility underwent major reconstruction from 2011-2014 (Buildings A and B) and has incrementally expanded its service portfolio over seven decades, evolving from a tuberculosis specialized hospital to a comprehensive medical and elderly care complex. Chairman Masashi Sakai (酒井雅司) leads the organization with no disclosed parent company, private equity, or external capital structure.
