Introduction

Yumino Medical Corporation, which operates with the mission to support individuals' lives through healthcare, is proud to announce the opening of the Hinata Heart Clinic on January 7, 2026. This facility will be based in Matsuyama, Ehime, marking the corporation’s expansion into this region. With existing branches in Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, the Hinata Heart Clinic becomes the eighth location for Yumino Medical.

Mission and Vision

In line with the philosophy of nurturing healthy living through medical support, the new clinic aims to focus on chronic conditions such as heart failure and respiratory failure. The corporation has built a robust network that includes outpatient and at-home medical care, ensuring that patients receive tailored support that fits their lifestyles.

Dr. Akio Fujii, who has been involved in home healthcare from the Osaka base, will head the Hinata Heart Clinic. As a native of Matsuyama, he is deeply committed to providing care that allows residents to maintain their familiar everyday lives while benefiting from professional medical support.

Addressing Community Needs

With the aging population in Matsuyama reaching 29.5% as of April 2025, the demand for accessible healthcare solutions has never been more pressing. Many elderly patients face difficulties in commuting to medical facilities, and the clinic is positioned to alleviate this burden by enhancing home healthcare services.

Matsuyama’s compact urban structure facilitates home visits, making it an ideal location for this initiative. Yumino Medical Corporation is dedicated to bridging this gap, ensuring that individuals unable to travel receive the necessary medical attention.

Philosophy of Care

Hinata Heart Clinic will not only act as a healthcare provider but also as a community partner, engaging with patients to support their overall well-being. This approach emphasizes listening to the needs and concerns of patients and tailoring services accordingly. The clinic is designed to function as a “home doctor” for the community, ensuring a holistic approach to health.

Dr. Akio Fujii's Commitment

Dr. Fujii, a cardiology specialist with extensive experience at Ehime University Hospital, has been motivated by witnessing the struggles faced by patients suffering from severe heart conditions. He aims to provide reassurance and stability to hearts and minds, fostering an environment where patients can remain in their own homes as they manage their health conditions. His goal is to collaborate with both patients and families to explore pathways for their healthcare, building a sustainable support system within the community.

Community Initiatives

To further engage with the community, an open house showcasing the clinic’s facilities and care systems will be held on January 26, 2026. Additionally, the clinic will host a medical seminar and opening ceremony on February 17, 2026, to share knowledge and foster relationships with healthcare professionals.
