I took over as director of Otaru City Hospital on April 1, 2021 (Reiwa 3), succeeding Director Yuichiro Shinno. Otaru City Hospital was newly built and merged two municipal hospitals, and opened on December 1, 2014 (Heisei 26), marking its seventh year this year.
During this time, it is no exaggeration to say that the six years were filled with hardships, including the Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake on September 6, 2018, and the pandemic that began with the WHO's announcement on January 5, 2020 regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Even under these circumstances, we celebrated our 90th anniversary in 2018, successfully held commemorative events, and recently underwent a hospital function evaluation by the Japan Council for Quality Health Care.
Furthermore, on April 1, 2021, we were able to upgrade from a regional cancer treatment hospital to a regional cancer treatment coordination base hospital.
Our hospital focuses on the four main pillars of medical care: cancer treatment, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. We aim to provide the latest and best medical care in an excellent medical environment and to operate as an efficient hospital.
Otaru City Hospital's original position, that is, the basic philosophy of aiming to be a "regional core hospital that is trusted by citizens and provides high-quality comprehensive medical care."

I was hospitalized for a while before, and Dr. Shioya took care of me. He was very kind and nice. Thanks to you, I recovered safely. I would also like to thank the nurses for their great help. This is definitely a hospital that I would recommend.

I don't know about other departments, but Dr. Hoshina is a very good doctor for dermatology, and I trusted him wholeheartedly. Easy to talk to, kind and accurate. The diagnosis was also accurate. The nurses are also very nice and kind. As for the dermatology department, this is the hospital that you would want to go to first when something happens.
