Discovering a New Health Experience in Asagaya
On February 2, 2026, the Kawakita Medical Foundation will unveil its newly renovated health screening facility, the "Health Screening Medical Salon," located within the Kawakita General Hospital. This establishment moves from the former Kawakita Health Clinic in Koenji, providing a fresh experience for health assessments amidst a tranquil and cozy setting - themed as "a salon floating in the forest." The facility is situated just a three-minute walk from JR Asagaya Station, atop the latest nine-story building designed to blend with nature.
Key Features of the New Facility
1. Stress-Free, All-in-One Design
The new health screening area is designed to ensure a seamless experience from the moment a patient enters. Reception, testing, and billing services all occur on the same floor, allowing for a smooth visit. While MRI and TV screening services are shared with the general hospital, they are accessed via a private elevator. This layout facilitates easy movements that accommodate those with mobility issues. Additionally, there's a thoughtfully designed women’s area that offers great views while ensuring privacy and comfort.
2. Comprehensive Cancer Screening Programs
To prioritize early cancer detection, the facility has revamped its health check-up programs. The Standard Check-Up includes stomach cancer screening with endoscopy and lung cancer screening with chest CT as standard protocols. Furthermore, the Premium Check-Up covers colonoscopy, providing thorough assessment options. Importantly, patients receive detailed results from physicians on the same day of their examination.
3. Innovative Sedation Endoscopy
Addressing concerns for those hesitant about endoscopies, the medical salon introduces sedation endoscopic procedures for patients who find the normal scopes uncomfortable. After the procedure, patients can relax in a spacious recovery room, with four experienced female specialists conducting the examinations to enhance comfort and trust.
4. Reduced Wait Times with Health Screening DX
The salon promotes efficiency with an automated guidance system using dedicated tablets. This innovative approach allows patients to be directed to examination rooms based on real-time crowd monitoring, thereby reducing waiting times. In addition, a web-based questionnaire and a health screening support app enable patients to view their results easily via smartphone.
