Central Medience Merges Subsidiary and Moves Headquarters for Enhanced Synergy

Central Medience Takes Major Steps Towards Organizational Efficiency

In a significant development in the healthcare sector, Central Medience, based in Minato, Tokyo, has announced the merger of its subsidiary, Central Medience Communications, effective May 1, 2026. This merger aims to strengthen the group's framework and to establish a more robust support system through consolidated operations.

The Rationale Behind the Merger and Relocation

Central Medience operates under the philosophy of "keeping healthcare moving" and functions as a Medical Integrator®, providing vital back-office support for medical institutions, including staffing, medical supplies, and management assistance. By integrating Central Medience Communications into its structure, the company plans to harness the latter's content production expertise and robust information dissemination channels, such as the health-focused web platform "Karada ni Ii Koto." This integration will enhance the breadth of healthcare solutions offered by Central Medience.

In tandem with this merger, Central Medience will relocate its headquarters from Toranomon to Shinagawa, positioning itself strategically in a key business district to deepen ties with partners, thereby facilitating a quicker and higher quality of support services.

New Office Concept: 'Synergy & Vitality Hub'

The new Shinagawa office will embody the concept of maximizing synergy through the centralization of functions previously scattered across five locations in Tokyo (Toranomon, Toranomon Warehouse, Nerima, Hongo, and Mita). This consolidation is designed to foster real-time communication across departments and create an environment where collaborative discussions flourish. The goal is to evolve this space into a hub for co-creation, where diverse expertise converges to spark innovative ideas.

Supporting Diverse Work Environments with Activity-Based Working (ABW)

In line with modern work demands, Central Medience is moving away from traditional, uniform office spaces. The new layout allows employees to choose optimal work environments based on specific tasks.

- Blending Focus and Relaxation: A café overlooking the canal and phone booths for deep concentration will be key features.
- Facilitating Quick Decision-Making: Free dining booths will be available for impromptu meetings that encourage ongoing dialogue.
- Adopting Free Addressing: By eliminating fixed desks, new connections among colleagues are fostered, enhancing the corporate network.

Well-Being and Sustainability Focus

To prioritize employee health, the 800㎡ layout is designed to promote natural movement:

- Encouraging Physical Activity: Shared equipment is thoughtfully distributed to create opportunities for movement, encouraging employees to walk within the office to boost health.
- Sustainable Practices: Centralized management of supplies is initiated to reduce waste and manage resources efficiently.

Smart Security and Flexibility Enabled by DX

The new office will implement a streamlined electronic key system, completely eliminating physical keys:

- Enhanced Security: Rigorous entry and exit logs will maintain trustworthiness as a medical equipment manufacturer.
- Seamless Attendance Management: Integrating access data with attendance tracking allows flexible adaptations to varied work styles.
- Cost Reduction: Discarding physical keys minimizes loss risks and significantly cuts down on key management overheads.

A Hub for Medical Knowledge Dissemination

One of the highlights of the new office will be a dedicated seminar room:

- Collaboration with Healthcare Professionals: This space will function as a venue to share the latest medical insights, fostering a learning atmosphere.
- Community Contribution: Hosting seminars for patients will support hospital operations and enhance recognition of regional healthcare.
- Connecting Stakeholders: Serving as a bridge between manufacturers, healthcare providers, and patients will create social value in the community.
