Kanno Hospital

What Kanno Hospital does

Kanno Hospital (菅野病院), operated by Medical Corporation Jukakukai (医療法人寿鶴会), is a private community hospital founded in 1958 and headquartered in Wako City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. The hospital operates across two adjacent facilities: the Main Building (本館) provides general medicine services including internal medicine, artificial dialysis, dentistry, urology, orthopedics, neurology, and rehabilitation across 120 beds (92 medical care + 28 community integrated care); the Annex (別館) provides psychiatric services including general psychiatry, dementia treatment, and psychiatric care across 215 beds. Total bed capacity is 335. The hospital serves primarily an elderly population with chronic conditions, dementia patients and their families, and psychiatric patients across Wako City and adjacent municipalities (Asaka, Shiki, Niiza, Fujimino, Miyoshi, Toda, Warabi).

The hospital operates an integrated regional medical-welfare network that extends well beyond inpatient care. Affiliated services include dementia day care 'Iyashisu' (capacity 50), psychiatric day care 'Hidamari' (capacity 28), visiting nursing station 'Orange', a Regional Medical Support Center, the Wako City North Regional Life Support Center (designated management), employment continuation support facility 'One Step' for psychiatric disabilities, psychiatric outreach services to 9 municipalities, and a Memory Disorder Clinic. Kanno Hospital is one of only 9 designated Dementia Disease Medical Centers in Saitama Prefecture, providing specialized diagnostic and treatment services under prefecture commission. Technology infrastructure includes EMR and order entry systems (implemented March 2023), automated medication dispensing support, and online insurance qualification verification (My Number integration since August 2023).

Revenue derives principally from medical services reimbursed under Japan's National Health Insurance system via the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) and per-diem payment structures, plus patient-pay services such as influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations and document copying fees. The hospital employs a community-led go-to-market approach, relying on direct visits, regional medical network referrals, municipal health program collaborations, and word-of-mouth in the local community, supported by a free shuttle bus from Wako City Station. The hospital is led by Chairman Takashi Kanno (菅野 隆). No parent company, venture funding, or public listing applies; the entity operates as an independent medical corporation under Japan's Medical Service Act.
