Shimajiri Kinsermae Diabetes Care Clinic Mission Statement

　In our everyday out patient care, our pledge to the community is to utilize our knowledge and
　experience to the fullest extent. In order to fulfill this commitment, we do our best to put
　this statement into action. Our focus is on diabetes and other lifestyle related deseases.

☆

　　１．To be practical.
　　　Seishyu Hanaoka, a renowned physician of old in Wakayama, who used　anesthesia
　　　successfully for the first time anywhere in the world, used to say, "There is only one way
　　　to practice medicine and that is by practicing using one's own knowledge." We offer the
　　　highest quality of medical science in the field of diabetes. We measure your blood glucose
　　　and hemoglobin A1c, and other biomarkers in our laboratory on the same day you come in
　　　to see us.

☆

　　２．To be research-oriented.
　　　Diabetes and other lifestyle related diseases are complex. We continue to look for answers
　　　through ongoing research. Therefore, we maintain a research-oriented mindset regarding
　　　the treatment of these diseases. We are always trying to refine what we do in order to be
　　　as effective as possible in our daily work. Gods exist in the details. Keeping our minds
　　　centered on research challenges us as well as brings advancement to the field of　diabetes
　　　care.

☆

　　３．To be benevolent.
　　　Samurai warriors had the benevolent mind, known as Sokuinno-jou. They believed in
　　　keeping a helpful mind concerning the weak. Our ancestors in the Miyako islands helped
　　　shipwrecked Germans hundreds of years ago. The spirit for opening our minds to all
　　　nations, having a sense of humor, and supporting community-based welfare is our tradition
　　　in the Miyako islands. This tradition is reflected in our effort to provide a clinic as a healing
　　　center to assist you in maintaining your overall health. We embrace this philosophy in
　　　our approach to our clients and seek to promote holistic health as a way of life.


☆


　　We believe our credo will assist us in making powerful advancements in the field of diabetes
　　care. Shimajiri Kinsermae clinic is located across the street from Camp Kinser. As we look
　　over the fence at nearby Camp Kinser, we also feel that we are "looking over a nearby
　　fence" in terms of overcoming diabetes and that someday we will cross over that fence.
