What Yamada does

Yamada Memorial Hospital (山田記念病院) is a 140-bed community acute care hospital operated by Social Medical Corporation Foundation Shomeikai (社会医療法人財団 正明会) in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, Japan. Founded in October 1947 by Dr. Masaaki Yamada as Yamada Surgery, renamed to Yamada Hospital in 1956, and reorganized as a medical corporation in 1996, the institution has served the Honjo and Ryogoku communities for over 70 years. It was redesignated as a specified medical corporation in 2010 and as a social medical corporation in September 2024. The hospital delivers multi-specialty acute care across internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery, dermatology, and urology, with seven outpatient clinics operating appointment-based consultations Monday through Saturday and a 24-hour emergency service.

The facility is configured as three inpatient wards totaling 140 beds: a 56-bed general ward with a 7:1 nursing ratio, a 42-bed community-based care ward with a 13:1 ratio, and a 42-bed ward for disabled facility patients with a 10:1 ratio. Diagnostic and treatment infrastructure includes a GE Optima MR360 Advance 1.5T MRI, a GE Revolution EVO ES 64-slice CT scanner, a Fujifilm CUREVISTA Open digital X-ray fluoroscopy system, a GE PRODIGY Fuga Advance bone densitometer, a Canon portable X-ray, and a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber used for air embolism, gas gangrene, cerebral infarction, sudden hearing loss, and adjunctive radiation/chemotherapy support. The 40+ member rehabilitation team delivers physical, occupational, and speech therapy covering musculoskeletal (40%), cerebrovascular (40%), respiratory (10%), and cancer (10%) indications. An affiliated visiting nursing station (established 2007, relocated adjacent to the hospital in 2019) extends the care continuum into home-visit medical consultations, visiting nursing, and home rehabilitation across Sumida Ward with limited coverage of adjacent Koto and Taito Wards.

Revenue is generated predominantly through Japan's national health insurance reimbursement schedule, supplemented by private room upgrade fees (¥2,750–¥41,800 per day), self-pay vaccinations (¥3,850–¥25,000 per dose), health examinations (¥5,500–¥11,000), medical certificate issuance (¥1,100–¥5,500), and sale of consumable supplies. Specialist physician coverage is sourced from affiliations with Tokyo Jikei University, University of Tokyo, Mitsui Memorial Hospital, Toho University, Showa University, Juntendo University, Tokyo Women's Medical University, Tokyo Yamanote Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, Nippon Medical School, and Doai Memorial Hospital. Customer segments are Sumida Ward residents and surrounding Tokyo ward residents (general acute, chronic, and home medical care), corporate employers (statutory occupational health examinations), and Sumida Ward government (specific health examinations, cancer screenings, vaccination programs). The hospital holds designated emergency, workers' compensation, atomic bomb survivors, tuberculosis prevention, and livelihood protection medical institution status.
