What Medical corporation Pengyukai does

Medical Corporation Pengyukai (医療法人社団　鵬友会, Hoyukai) is a Tokutei Iryouhoujin (specified medical corporation) established in 1983 in Yokohama, Japan, operating an integrated healthcare and welfare network across Kanagawa Prefecture (Yokohama's Izumi, Asahi, and Seya Wards) and Shizuoka Prefecture (Fujinomiya). The corporation runs four hospitals (Yumegaoka General Hospital, Shin-Nakagawa Hospital, Yokohama Hoyu Hospital, and Fujiyama Hospital) totaling approximately 733 beds, one primary care clinic (Hongo Clinic), three elderly care facilities (Akuwa Hoshoso, Rivarubukea, Ikaruno) totaling approximately 236 inpatient beds, a home-visit nursing station (Hoyu Visiting Nursing Station), a dementia daycare (Sun Alice), and a licensed nursery (Hoyu Hoikuen). Approximately 854 staff are employed as of April 2024.

The core technical footprint comprises standard hospital-grade diagnostic and treatment equipment (CT, MRI, X-ray, EEG, ECG) plus differentiated offerings including pain-free MRI breast cancer screening at the Yumegaoka Health Check Plaza, designated Yokohama City dementia disease center services (dementia diagnosis, BPSD treatment, initial intensive support, young-onset dementia coordination) at Yokohama Hoyu Hospital, and 24-hour/365-day emergency home-visit nursing with five full-time physical therapists. The organization is the only dementia-specialized psychiatric hospital operator in Yokohama City, with 169 dedicated dementia treatment ward beds and 46 psychiatric long-term care beds.

Revenue is generated almost entirely under Japan's standardized national health insurance and long-term care insurance fee-for-service reimbursement schedules, with patient co-payments typically 1-30% depending on age and income. Three primary streams are: medical healthcare services (acute care, dementia, rehabilitation, home-visit nursing), long-term care insurance services (elderly facilities and day care), and fee-based health checkup services. Patients access care via direct visits, referrals from regional comprehensive support centers, regional medical coordination offices, and care manager consultations. Go-to-market is sales-led and community-driven, leveraging public lectures, newsletters, family education programs, and a regional medical coordination office staffed by psychiatric social workers. No revenue figure, funding, or external investor information is publicly disclosed.
