Koai Hospital

What Koai Hospital does

Koai Hospital (光愛病院) is a private psychiatric and psychosomatic medicine hospital operated by Medical Corporation Kōai-kai (医療法人光愛会), established on February 25, 1964, in Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. The hospital operates 203 inpatient beds distributed across four specialized wards: a 44-bed psychiatric recovery ward, a 50-bed general psychiatric ward, a 49-bed general psychiatric/elderly ward, and a 60-bed psychiatric emergency acute care ward providing 24/7, 365-day emergency admission. Outpatient services include general psychiatric consultations and a dedicated child/adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic (児童思春期精神科外来) addressing school refusal, withdrawal, and adolescent mental health issues. The hospital is a designated insurance medical institution under Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and a designated psychiatric emergency facility, making it the only specialized psychiatric emergency provider in its catchment area.

Koai Hospital delivers care via a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, nurses, clinical psychologists, psychiatric social workers, pharmacists, occupational therapists, and care workers, supported by an on-site daycare facility for staff and a shuttle bus from JR Settsu-Tonda Station. Adjacent to the main facility is an integrated ecosystem of wholly owned affiliated services: the Kouai Clinic and Hikarie Clinic (outpatient psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine with day care), the Ayuse Group home-visit nursing stations across four Osaka-area locations (specializing in psychiatric and dementia home care), the Takatsuki Life Support Center Oasis (a Type I regional activity support center providing daily-living consultations, vocational rehabilitation, and peer support), and Keahomu Habataki (a group home for persons with disabilities). This structure provides a full care continuum from acute hospitalization through outpatient care, home nursing, community-based rehabilitation, and supported independent living.

Revenue is generated primarily through Japan's national health insurance reimbursement system under the government's medical fee schedule, supplemented by select self-pay services (実費サービス) for additional amenities. Patient acquisition is sales-led, combining direct outpatient bookings, walk-ins, emergency admissions, and referrals from affiliated clinics and primary care physicians. Leadership is provided by Chairman Arimoto Susumu (有本 進) and Hospital Director Fujikawa Masanori (藤川 昌典), with Sakaki Madoka (坂木 まどか) heading the Nursing Department. The hospital employs between 251 and 500 staff and is positioned as a regional specialty anchor in the Kansai psychiatric care market.
