Keijinkai Group

What Keijinkai Group does

Keijinkai Group (渓仁会グループ) is a private, integrated healthcare and welfare complex headquartered in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, operating across the full continuum of care — from acute and emergency medicine to chronic care, rehabilitation, preventive health screenings, home medical care, nursing homes, and welfare services. The group is structured around Medical Corporation Keijinkai (operating hospitals and clinics), Social Welfare Corporation Keijinkai (operating elderly welfare facilities), Social Co., Ltd. (home help services), and Medical Corporation Inoue-kai. Its core facilities include Teine Keijinkai Hospital (acute care with doctor helicopter/DMAT emergency services), Sapporo Keijinkai Rehabilitation Hospital (opened 2017), Sapporo Nishimaruyama Hospital (neurology/chronic care), Jozankei Hospital (multi-functional chronic care with hot spring therapy), Keijinkai Maruyama Clinic (preventive health screenings), Keijinkai Minami Clinic (home medical care), and a rural Tomarimura clinic.

The group employs 3,916 staff as of April 1, 2026 and serves the general public across Hokkaido, with a particular concentration in elderly and chronic-care patients. Revenue is generated primarily through statutory health insurance reimbursements under Japan's national medical fee schedule and the nursing care insurance system; home helper services are billed at ¥1,180–¥2,040 per hour on a pay-as-you-go basis. The group holds multiple regulatory credentials including group-wide ISO 9001 (since 2000), ISO 15189 lab accreditation (2023), Japan's first long-term care hospital function evaluation certification (1998), Japan's first functional-category chronic care hospital certification (2013), Hokkaido's first METI DX Certification in the medical/welfare sector (November 2024), and continuous METI Health Management Excellence recognition since 2021.

Keijinkai differentiates itself through an integrated care model spanning hospital-clinic-welfare-home care under a single brand, an extensive Hokkaido facility network that competitors cannot easily replicate, sustained restraint-free care since 2002, annual CSR reporting since 2006, and Hokkaido's only designated nurse specialized action training institution (7th cohort in 2026). Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer through its own facilities, hospital information sessions, public lectures, and a quarterly PR magazine ("Saranet"), with no third-party distribution channels. The group's GTM is anchored by physical presence in Sapporo wards (Teine, Maruyama, Shiroishi, Minami) plus a remote rural clinic, and operations are coordinated under Chairman/Chief DX Officer Yoshiaki Narita (成田吉明), appointed in April 2023.
