Saito Hospital

What Saito Hospital does

Medical Corporation Higashiyamakai (医療法人東山会) is a private, founder-controlled Japanese medical and welfare corporation headquartered in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, operating since 1989 with predecessor operations dating to 1962. The organization runs an integrated medical and long-term care platform under two principal brands: Saito Hospital (斎藤病院), a multi-specialty acute care hospital covering internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, orthopedics, urology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, rehabilitation, gastroenterology, proctology, cardiology, dermatology, and respiratory medicine; and Sabae Care Center Midorisou (鯖江ケアセンターみどり荘), a 160-bed geriatric healthcare facility with a 50-bed specialized dementia ward. The platform also encompasses an array of long-term care insurance (Kaigo Hoken) services including short-term respite stays, day rehabilitation, day care, home-visit nursing, home-visit care (currently suspended), home care support/care management, and a Regional Comprehensive Support Sub-Center for community elderly care coordination, plus a sick-child daycare facility (Warabe).

Revenue is generated through Japan's public insurance reimbursement system (medical fees under Shakai Hoken Iryō and long-term care fees under Kaigo Hoken), supplemented by private-pay portions for services outside insurance coverage. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed but is documented in fee-schedule PDFs. The go-to-market model is community-based and non-digital: outreach relies on local government referrals, word-of-mouth, care-manager relationships, and educational programs conducted by the comprehensive support sub-center. No mobile app, digital marketing channels, or paid advertising are used; the corporate website (higashiyamakai.org) functions as a static informational portal.

Customer segments span elderly individuals certified under Japan's long-term care insurance system (support levels 1-2 and care levels 1-5), their family caregivers, homebound patients requiring visiting nursing, and parents needing sick-child care services. The organization employs multidisciplinary clinical teams (physicians, nurses, rehabilitation therapists, nutritionists, certified care workers) and operates a fleet of 10 vehicles (8 wheelchair-accessible) for patient transportation. All operations are concentrated within a single Japanese city, creating acute geographic concentration but enabling the integrated medical-nursing care model that serves as the principal competitive differentiator versus standalone providers.
