Our hospital has opened an admission and discharge support station to ensure that patients and their families can have a safe and secure hospital stay. Here, patients will meet with staff including nurses, pharmacists, and registered dietitians before being admitted. Through collaboration among multiple professions, we provide medical care that respects the thoughts and wishes of patients and their families, and support patients so that they can continue to receive appropriate medical care from relevant social and community institutions.
