Director, Hirosaki University Hospital

Aomori Medical School Hospital, the predecessor of Hirosaki University Hospital, was established in 1945. In that year, it suffered from the war damage and was relocated to Hirosaki City. Since then, over the past 75 years, the hospital has contributed to the local community by providing advanced medical care to patients and fostering medical professionals by offering educational opportunities to physicians, medical staffs, and students. Currently, the hospital is equipped with 35 departments and 26 central medical facilities and is capable of treating a wide variety of diseases, from newborns to the elderly.

Our mission is to provide safe and high-quality medical care to patients, to proactively address medical issues in cooperation with the local community, to foster excellent medical professionals, and to promote advanced research for the advancement of medicine and medical care.In particular, as a hospital accredited by the government as the last bastion of community medicine, we believe that our most important mission is to provide advanced medical care to the community.

Currently, the hospital is a leading facility in Japan in the fields of high-difficulty surgery through multidisciplinary collaboration, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular treatment utilizing a hybrid operating room, pediatric hematology/oncology treatment, robotic surgery, organ transplantation, and sports medicine. Furthermore, our Advanced Emergency and Critical Care Center has important functions as a central facility covering emergency medical care in the northern Tohoku region and as a radiation exposure medical center in Tohoku and Hokkaido.

As in the past and in the future, we will continue to advocate the best interests of patients, their families, and the community, always be there for them, and continue to provide safe, high-quality, advanced medical care. All of us at Hirosaki University Hospital will make every effort to ensure that every patient who visits our hospital feels "happy to have received medical care at Hirosaki University Hospital".
