Meeting diverse needs for community medicine
JADECOM operates hospitals, clinics, and complex facilities in various communities in all over Japan. JADECOM meet the needs of those communities, with hospitals which provide emergency treatment in urban areas, hospitals which take a major role in communities, facilities which provide comprehensive care in communities, and clinics in mountainous rural areas and isolated islands.
JADECOM will do its best with each local government that are struggling to secure medical care, to provide high-quality medical services.
JADECOM wants to support the life of people in their communities and revitalize those communities by operating medical facilities.
Dispatching doctors to rural areas
Supporting communities facing difficult medical situation
JADECOM receives many requests from local government and facilities every year to dispatch doctors. JADECOM is doing its best to meet as many of those requests as possible. In FY2023, the result of dispatching doctors from operating facilities reached a total of 1,813 doctor-days, and approximately a quarter of JADECOM full-time doctors were involved in dispatch activities.
When the Great East Japan Earthquake happened, all JADECOM staff came together to support Onagawa Municipal Hospital, located in the east part of Miyagi prefecture. (Emergency dispatch days reached 3,201 person-days by the end of September 2011), and JADECOM took over the hospital management as a first designated manager in the disaster area in October 2011. Through operating Onagawa Community Medical Center, JADECOM is now contributing to the revival of the disaster area.
