【 Akagi-kohgen Hospital listed in top 100
hospitals in Japan 】
（Ｕpdated 11/04/2000）
Akagi-kohgen Hospital was chosen as one of the top 100
hospitals in Japan in the February edition of a monthly magazine "the
Gendai" which is published by one of the big-name publishing companies,
Kodansha. There are about 9000 hospitals in Japan.
The author Seiji Yoshihara is a promising journalist who has a great knowledge
of medical issues and who has been writing a serial column of "How
to keep fit - secret advice by great doctors". He says that he has
carefully screened only the most excellent hospitals which stand by the
patients side in managerial efforts. Akagi-kohgen Hospital stands alone
on the list of major hospitals such as St. Luke's International Hospital,
Mitsui Memorial Hospital and Toranomon Hospital which are known for ultramodern
medical facilities and high technology equipment because, in contrast,
Akagi-kohgen Hospital has only 107 beds and places emphasis on human care,
fresh air and beautiful scenery on the highland.
The author introduced our hospital as " specializing in the treatment
of alcoholism, helping the family members problems including drug abuse
and eating disorders". We understand that the author was able to estimate
our high standard in the specialty treatment of alcohol-related problems
and the value of the principle of treating the whole family instead of
treating only the alcoholic patient, as well as the well-trained dedicated
staff and other cooperative facilities in the therapeutic network.
We appreciated this evaluation and we are happy that people understand
our policy.
