What 医療生協さいたま生活協同組合 does

Medical Co-op Saitama (医療生協さいたま生活協同組合) is a Saitama Prefecture-based healthcare cooperative that operates an integrated network of acute hospitals, clinics, dental clinics, elderly care facilities, and home/community care services for approximately 236,896 member households. As of fiscal year ending March 2026, the cooperative runs 5 hospitals (including Saitama Kyodo Hospital with 401 beds and Kumagaya Kyodo Hospital with 105 beds), 8 clinics, 2 dental clinics, 2 geriatric health services facilities, paid nursing homes, group homes, day services, and visiting nursing stations, employing about 2,794.4 full-time-equivalent staff across 155 branches in 11 districts. All hospitals and clinics are registered members of the WHO Health Promoting Hospitals and Health Services (HPH) network, and the cooperative holds ISO environmental (2002) and quality (2003) certifications across all business sites.

The cooperative's revenue is generated primarily through Japanese health insurance reimbursements for medical services (acute, chronic, rehabilitation, and home care), long-term care insurance reimbursements for elderly services, employer-paid health diagnostics, and member capital contributions (¥1,000 per unit, 3 units minimum on joining; cumulative capital of ¥63.78 billion). Total revenue was ¥270,018,620,000 as of March 2026. Distribution is community-led: prospective members are recruited through branch activities, health festivals, word-of-mouth, and referrals, with municipal-government "watchman" agreements (Kawaguchi, Saitama, Koshigaya, Chichibu, Hanno, Iruma, etc.) and free/low-fee clinics at 16 facilities addressing economically disadvantaged residents. The cooperative is a member of national federations including the All Japan Federation of Democratic Medical Institutions (民医連) and the Japan Medical Welfare Cooperative Federation, and is independently owned by its member-shareholders with no disclosed private equity or parent company.

Founded in its current form on April 1, 1992, through the merger of six Saitama medical cooperatives, the organization traces its origins to September 1946 (Ooi Iin clinic in Fujimino City). It is governed by a representative council with a representative-director/board chair currently held by Masuda Tsuyoshi (増田 剛) since July 1, 2025, succeeding Yukida Shinji (雪田慎二).
