Shizuoka General HospitalShizuoka General Hospital is dedicated to providing high quality holistic
medical care that is reliable and gives peace of mind to all patients.

Shizuoka Prefectural General Hospital opened in 1983 following a merger of two prefectural
hospitals. Since then, we have consistently provided high-quality medical care to the residents of
Shizuoka Prefecture, and accumulated experience as a core hospital in the prefecture that isreliable. In 2009, the hospital became an organization that can flexibly respond to changes insociety and medical services as a member of the Shizuoka Prefectural Hospital Organization, which
manages three prefectural hospitals. In addition, as a core disaster base hospital and as anadvanced medical service center, we are fully prepared to respond to large-scale disaster in theprefecture and accidents that require advanced medical care.
In 2017, we established a new state-of-the-art medical science wing, the Medical Frontier Center,aiming at continuing to safely provide up-to-date medical treatment to all residents in Shizuoka
Prefecture and fostering human resources who will play important roles in future medical andnursing care services that can respond to drastic changes in the population structure as well as todemands for the optimization of medical expenses in relation to the national budget.
We are confident that we can provide higher quality medical care in response to the requests ofeveryone at medical institutions in the prefecture, including patients.

• We will provide heartfelt medical care based on informed medical information, standing in the positionof people receiving the medical care.
• As a core hospital in the prefecture, we will engage in highly sophisticated and advanced medicalcare, and support local community medical services.
• We will proactively take charge of policy-based medical care such as emergency medical care,disaster medical treatment, medical services for outlying areas, and tuberculosis medical treatment.
• We will train high-quality human resources who will lead medical care in the future.
• We will strive toward creating a comfortable working environment and achieving sound hospitalmanagement that is highly transparent.

Three Pillars of Medical Care
Cancer Medical Care
Designated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as a “coreregional hospital for collaborative cancer treatment” (2003), the hospitalhas high-quality health care functions, and plays a central role in cancer
medical care in central Shizuoka Prefecture. To enable patients toreceive contiguous cancer treatment in accordance with the disease, wehave been promoting medical care collaboration through “Regional
Collaborative Clinical Path.”
In addition, we carry out treatment that is appropriate for each patientsuch as surgery, chemotherapy (anti-cancer agents / molecule-mediatedtargeted drug delivery), and radiation therapy, making full use of highperformance diagnostic equipment such as PET and MDCT, for all typesof cancer.

Chemotherapy Center

Cardiovascular Medical CareAt the Cardiovascular Disease Center, we are working on treatment for
the reduction of mortality due to heart diseases and cerebrovasculardiseases. It is said that for acute myocardial infarction, carrying out
treatment within 2 hours after its onset is important, while for cerebral
infarction, carrying out treatment within 3 hours is important.
The Cardiovascular Disease Center is connected by dedicatedelevators with the Advanced Emergency and Critical Care Center on the
1st floor, the Cardioangiography and Treatment Room on the 2nd floor,
and the CCU (Coronary Care Unit) on the 3rd floor. In this way, we haveestablished an emergency medical care system for heart diseases andcerebrovascular diseases. We have also established a hybrid operating
room in order to reduce the burden on patients and provide a moreadvanced medical care.

Cancer patients’ salon “Smile”

Emergency Medical Care
We accept all patients ranging from those suffering minor injuries tothose suffering the most severe injuries 24 hours a day at the Advanced
Emergency and Critical Care Center. Dedicated staff for emergency
events and the various diagnosis and treatment departments cooperate
to respond to emergency cases such as heart diseases, cerebrovasculardiseases, severe trauma, and burns with equipment directly connectedwith ICU, vascular imaging and treatment rooms, CT rooms, emergency
operating rooms, etc.
In addition, we dispatch physicians to the scene of accidents throughthe use of doctor cars (ambulances with a doctor on board) andoperating firefighting helicopters for emergency medical services.

Shizuoka PET Imaging Center
Currently, the main purpose of PET examinations is to produce images of the activities of the cancer, but we are alsoable to carry out inspections to examine the functions, etc. of the heart and brain. At this Center, we have set up
PET/CT equipment (3 units), and through images synthesized in combination with a multi-slice CT, we perform highly
accurate diagnosis. In the future, when it becomes possible to use new test agents, it is said that early diagnosis of
Alzheimer's type dementia will become possible. In addition, since the Center has adopted the form of joint-use, it ispossible for any medical institution to request examinations.

Leading-Edge Medical Building (Medical Frontier Center)

We provide highly advanced medical care services. In addition, we have established an environment for fostering
human resources who will lead medical care in the future as well as an environment where they can engage inclinical research.

Radiation therapy
To deliver radiation to a pathological lesion without fail, recent
radiation therapy equipment have become larger by beingcombined with diagnostic imaging units. We have thus set up four
treatment rooms that are of sufficient size to respond to suchneeds. One of these rooms is compatible with omnidirectionalshielding required for the CyberKnife. During the initial fiscal year,
the latest CT/Linac capable of more precise localized radiation will
be introduced, making volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)
possible. For the oncoming aging society, we will provide everyonein the prefecture with high-precision radiation therapy that isfriendlier to the human body.

Department of Education and Training
We will set up a place for training, lectures, etc. for hospital staff members and students. This
also supports “Fujinokuni Virtual Medical College,” a virtual college promoted by the Shizuoka
Prefectural Government.
In addition to installing various types of simulators at the Medical Skill-Up Center, we have also
set up a pseudo ward there.

Operating room (16 rooms)

Operating rooms (6 rooms)
HCU (20 rooms)

The new operating room in the Medical
Frontier Center consist of 22 rooms
occupying the 3rd and 4th floors, witheach room having sufficient area. Three
operating rooms contain hybrid MRI, CT
or angiography equipment – allowing for
precise and accurate surgical procedures
based on high-resolution diagnostic
imagery in the same operating room. In
addition to five rooms specially designed
for endoscopic surgery, there are tworooms designed for robotic surgery.
Microscopic and endoscopic surgicalprocedures can now be conducted witheven greater precision and safety.
Adjacent to the operating rooms is asurgical High Care Unit (HCU) and apathology laboratory, enabling quick
patient and specimen transfers. We
believe that as advanced surgery usingstate-of-the-art surgical equipment canbe carried out safely, we can give a great
peace of mind to everyone in theprefecture.

Research Support CenterOn the 5th floor of the Medical Frontier Center is a Research Support
Center where clinical and epidemiological studies that contribute to thehealth of residents in the prefecture are conducted. Specifically, genetic
analysis, statistical analysis, collection/preservation/analysis of specimen,
analysis of diseases of the residents, and other research activities arescheduled to by conducted. In Shizuoka Prefecture, where we aim at
health and longevity, it will become increasingly important to transmit
information not only concerning treatment after getting sick but also
concerning not getting sick.
In cooperation with the Shizuoka Children's Hospital and the Shizuoka
Psychiatric Medical Center, we will aim at making contributions ranging
from basic research that supports clinical medicine to the improvement of
the health and welfare of the residents.

Hearing Center (Shizuoka Prefectural Infant Hearing Support Center)
Hearing disorders during infancy will greatly affect the development of speech. On the other hand, it is known that proper response to andintervention against impaired hearing among children during infancy can result in a child’s acquisition of speech at the same level as a healthy
child by the time of the child’s enrollment in elementary school. In Shizuoka Prefecture, hearing checks are performed on most newborn babies
through hearing screening immediately after birth. By aggregating the results at the Center, we will promptly provide advice to the parents on how
to interact with their children based on the final diagnostic results.
In addition, while watching the reactions of a child’s brain using state-of-the-art equipment, we will make evaluations as to whether the individual
cases of interventions against a child’s hearing impairment is appropriate. By widely providing a forum for training for people in various occupations
involved in hearing impairment among children, we will foster human resources who can appropriately intervene with children who have hearing
impairment.

Activities of This Hospital
Collaboration with community clinics
and regional medical facilities
As a regional medical care support hospital, we have been promoting collaboration in medical care by dividing roles among hospitals and clinics
such examination and treatment. In addition, by operating regional collaborative clinical paths with community clinics, rehabilitation hospitals, etc.,
we have been carrying out consistent treatment as a series of steps from hospitalization to recovery and rehabilitation after discharge, and evenhome medical care.
Moreover, we have been leading a network system (Fujinokuni Virtual Mega Hospital, aka “Fujinokuni Net”), through which clinical information isshared among multiple regions and facilities by making full use of advanced ICT technology.

Hospitalization and Release Center
We have incorporated a mechanism for supporting a patient from hospitalization
to discharge (Patient Flow Management) in order to achieve smooth hospitalization,
treatment, and quick discharge by grasping the patient’s risk from before
hospitalization. In this way, we are implementing initiatives for providing seamlessmedical services not only through connections within the hospital but also throughconnections with the local community.

With regard to such matters as securing and enhancing medical care systems inremote areas as well as strengthening the support system and measures to secure
physicians, we have actively taken charge of policy medical care programs
implemented by the prefectural government. In addition, we have appointed doctors
who have graduated from Jichi Medical University to work at this hospital anddispatched doctors in response to requests by public medical facilities in remote areas.

Introduction of advanced and leading edge medical equipment
At our hospital, we have proactively introduced state-of-the-art medical equipment such as MRI equipment (3 units) that provide more detailed image data in ashorter time compared to previous models and multi-slice CT equipment (one 320-row unit, and two 64-row units) as well as angiography equipment (5 units),
high-energy linear accelerators (3 units), and a brachytherapy equipment. In addition, by introducing surgical support robot “da Vinci,” which was the fourth one to
be introduced in a hospital in Shizuoka Prefecture, we have been able to carry out operations for prostate cancer and cervical cancer that place less burden on thepatients.

Promotion of Clinical Research・ Clinical Research ・

Our motto has been to pursue contributing to curing and prolonging the lives of patients as the main theme of our research by taking up
unresolved issues regarding diagnosis and treatment as research topics in clinical research.
At the Research Support Center on the 5th floor of the Medical Frontier Center, which opened in 2017, we are promoting clinical researchthat will contribute to the local community for protecting the lives of prefectural residents as the top priority. Along with this, we will aim at
promoting research that takes into consideration the development of medical science, shifting our viewpoint from medical science thatexamines patients to that which does not generate patients.

・ Clinical trials ・So that we can deliver better medicine to patients as soon
as possible, we are engaged in clinical trials (treatment) for
confirming the effects, side effects, and safety of new drugs
with the cooperation of the patients.
To that end, we have been supporting clinical trials by
establishing a clinical trial management office and training
clinical research coordinators (CRCs).
