Iwate Hospital was established in 1942 as Iwate Sanatorium for Disabled Veterans, and was renamed National Iwate Sanatorium after the war, with 800 beds as a base for tuberculosis treatment. As the number of tuberculosis patients decreased due to advances in treatment, the hospital's role changed to policy-based medical care for severe physical and mental disabilities and intractable neuromuscular diseases, and in 1998, tuberculosis beds were abolished. After the establishment of the National Hospital Organization in 2004, the hospital has been responsible for policy-based medical care as a specialized medical facility for severe physical and mental disabilities and intractable neuromuscular diseases, as well as regional medical care centered on rehabilitation for the recovery period.

　The hospital building and facilities suffered serious damage in the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, but a new ward with an earthquake-resistant structure was completed in 2016, providing a safe and comfortable environment for hospitalization. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the hospital's founding as a 250-bed hospital with five wards, including a ward for intractable neuromuscular diseases and three wards for patients with severe physical and mental disabilities. We are deeply grateful for the understanding and cooperation of the patients and their families who trust and use our hospital, as well as the support of local medical, welfare, and administrative organizations. We would also like to express our gratitude to our predecessors and staff who have supported our hospital and contributed to medical care even in difficult times, and have continued our 80-year history.
