Executive Director's Message

Shuzo Kobayashi, M.D.,Ph.D.

“Our goal is to be a hospital that is loved and trusted by the community and one that patients are happy to come to.”
~ Aspiring to realize medical care that does not leave the weak behind and incorporates the world's most advanced medical care ~

It has already been 20 years since I became a vice director of Shonan Kamakura General Hospital. With effect from July 2022, I took up the post of executive director, and this has made me realize the importance of my responsibilities.

To date, I have been committing myself to the post of vice director and deputy director of hospital from Internal Medicine, believing in my utmost mission of improving the quality of medical care in the hospital, and receiving support from many for this cause. Looking back, I have received a lot of support and guidance from many people in the introduction of electronic medical records, the establishment of a medical safety system, the launch of the Oncology Center, the operation of the Nutritional Support Team (NST), regenerative medicine, and transplantation medicine.
The hospital has received guidance from many doctors at medical associations and is loved by many residents through our comprehensive regional medical system that promotes medical cooperation, from emergency and critical care to advanced medical treatment and peaceful endings. Also, as a medical corporation activity, I have visited 14 countries in Africa to provide support for medical care in the area of renal medicine.

Our goal is to be a hospital that is loved and trusted by the community and one that patients are happy to come to. Above all, we strive to be a patient-friendly hospital. Our hospital is also an educational hospital that is accredited in many clinical areas. As the education of young physicians is one of our important missions, we really appreciate your understanding and corporation and hope to receive your honest feedback and guidance. In addition, many of our medical departments and physicians are playing active roles nationally and globally, and constantly putting effort into training and education to facilitate advancement of medicine. I am also taking operational considerations into account so that the benefits of these efforts will be passed on to all of our patients as quickly as possible. In order to ensure that patients have good quality of life and good end-of-life care, we are strengthening alliances with affiliated institutions, which include geriatric-health services facilities, special nursing homes, and home care centers. A “Center for Regional Comprehensive Healthcare” has been established, and we are making efforts to closely work with physicians, as well as staff from welfare and administrative agencies. We will continue to organize various activities e.g. in-house lectures, concerts, and “Non-profit Organization The society for thinking about healing medicine”, to reach out to more people. This is in the hope of becoming a center for improving the lifestyles and culture of the members of the community.

In April 2021, the hospital completed construction of the Advanced Medical Center Building, which focuses on enhancing comprehensive cancer treatment, and in April 2022, the Critical Care Center and Trauma Center Building. In addition to emergency medical care, psychological care for cancer patients, socially vulnerable patients, and post-trauma patients is becoming an increasingly important issue. We aim to become a new hospital of the next generation that provides world-class catheterization, endoscopic surgery, radiotherapy, and regenerative medicine, including mental palliative care. We will continue to improve our pediatric department, including newborn care, and establish a system for treating allergic diseases, which is said to be one of the least developed in the world. We would appreciate your understanding, cooperation and guidance
