Hospital Introduction

Chubu Animal Medical Center celebrates its th anniversary

Thanks to you, Chubu Animal Medical Center has celebrated its th anniversary of operation.
I feel that this is also thanks to the owner who attends our hospital.
Nowadays, the number of migrants and US military base workers from the main island is increasing, and all the staff will work hard to provide even more polite and smooth medical care.
And humbly thank you.

Message from the Director

Since opening my first veterinary hospital in Tokyo in 2004, I have continuously reflected on the future of veterinary medicine and the pet industry through my experience in hospital management, operations, and educational activities at vocational schools and universities.

As I reached a point in life where I began looking back on my own journey, I asked myself what my true role should be. I came to realize that it is not simply to follow in the footsteps of those who came before me, but to help create a path for the next generation—one that leads to a society where animals and people can live happily together. With this conviction in mind, I chose Okinawa as the place to turn that vision into reality.

1. Bridging the Medical Gap in Okinawa with Advanced and Compassionate Care

Compared with metropolitan areas such as the Kanto region, many regional areas face challenges due to the lack of university hospitals and specialized medical services. This often results in disparities in medical care and access to information. Unfortunately, Okinawa is no exception.
To help bridge this gap, our hospital has established specialized departments, particularly in cardiology and oncology, with the support of experienced veterinarians who are active outside the prefecture. By fostering close collaboration between general practitioners and specialists, we have created a system that allows pets in Okinawa to receive advanced and attentive medical care without leaving the island.

2. A Commitment to Education and the Development of Future Talent

Okinawa does not have a veterinary school, which limits opportunities for advanced education in this field. At our hospital, we actively welcome young veterinarians and graduate students who have trained at university hospitals such as the University of Tokyo, Hokkaido University, Azabu University, and Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University. Together, we build an environment where cutting-edge veterinary medicine can be practiced and shared.
Working alongside individuals who are either from Okinawa or who have chosen to relocate here with a strong sense of purpose, we strive to raise the overall standard of veterinary medicine in the region. This is one of our most important missions.

3. Providing Peace of Mind Beyond Language Barriers

In Okinawa’s international community, communication with pet owners is directly connected to the quality of medical care. Clear and accurate communication forms the foundation of safe and reliable veterinary services. For this reason, our hospital includes staff members with interpretation skills to ensure that international families can receive care comfortably and without difficulty.
Our hospital is not simply a place where illnesses are treated.

We support the growth of our staff, stand close to families in times of concern, and work to protect the future of every irreplaceable life.

Rooted here in Okinawa, we will continue to pursue an open and trustworthy form of veterinary medicine—one that brings happiness to both people and animals who share this community.
