Hakuyokai

What Hakuyokai does

Hakuyokai Medical Corporation (医療法人白楊会) is a privately held Japanese medical corporation founded in 1973 and headquartered in Meito Ward, Nagoya. The organization operates a network of 10 facilities across four prefectures (Aichi, Gifu, Osaka, Hyogo), comprising 8 dialysis clinics with 269+ dialysis machines, 1 geriatric health facility, and 1 service-attached senior housing. Its core service is chronic dialysis treatment, offered through multiple modalities including hemodialysis (HD), online hemodiafiltration (online HDF), intermittent infusion HDF (I-HDF), overnight dialysis (6-8 hours), long-duration dialysis, and adsorption therapy (LIXELLE/LEOCANNA). Supporting services include on-site shunt surgery and PTA at Tajimi Clinic, sleep apnea syndrome diagnosis and CPAP therapy, foot care (CAVI/ABI testing), nutrition counseling, medical social work, rehabilitation, and free wheelchair-accessible shuttle transport across all clinic locations. Complementary senior housing offerings include ReHOPE Tajimi (55 rooms, opened October 2020) and Amulife Nijigaoka Field (residential-type paid nursing home).

The underlying technology stack centers on Nikkiso and Nipro dialysis platforms (DCS-100NX monitoring, DBB-100NX individual units, NCV-3), Daisen Membrane Systems RO water purification, and Toray dialysate agents. In August 2025, all dialysis equipment was upgraded to Nikkiso's latest systems with real-time kt/V monitoring capability, and in September 2025 an electronic medical record system was deployed across facilities. Specialized clinical protocols include ultrasound-guided vascular puncture for difficult shunt access and a three-pillar shunt management methodology combining visual/tactile inspection, dialysis monitor data analysis, and ultrasound examination. Medical Satellite Nagoya is accredited by the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy as an educational facility.

The business model operates on a fee-for-service basis under Japan's national health insurance system (社会保険). Revenue streams include dialysis treatment fees per session, hospitalization charges (¥3,300/day private room, ¥1,650/day semi-private at Tajimi Clinic), elderly care facility fees, outpatient consultation fees, and ancillary service charges. Customer segments are chronic kidney failure patients (primary), elderly and long-term care patients (secondary), and general outpatients seeking internal medicine, nephrology, or sleep apnea treatment. Patient intake is walk-in, referral-based from regional hospitals (including Nagoya University Hospital, Osaka Red Cross Hospital, Osaka Police Hospital, and others), and via direct inquiry. The organization is governed by a chairman-led physician team and operates without external equity investment.
