Volunteer activity

The palliative care ward has been decorated for the New Year!
2025 is the year of the snake!
Volunteers made adorable handmade zodiac animals for us!
Place the Year of the Snake for 2025 in the center and it's complete!

We also borrowed works from flower and carving artist YUKARI to add a touch of elegance!

There's only a little time left this year...
Thank you again next year.

At the "Christmas Concert" held in the palliative care ward, the decorations in the day room were not just a Christmas tree, but were also very elaborate!

We borrowed works from flower and carving artist YUKARI to further enhance the Christmas mood!

Thank you to YUKARI for adding such a gorgeous and elegant touch!!

On December 12th, a Christmas concert by Cello & Keyboard Nanohana was held in the day room of the palliative care ward!

With songs such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Beautiful Night," patients and their families seemed to enjoy the Christmas spirit.

Autumn deepens with each passing day, and it's now the season for art.
Our clinic has an exhibition space called the "Hot Gallery"!
The artworks on display are works by local people (photographs, watercolors, oil paintings, etc.).
We change the exhibits about five times a year for everyone to enjoy.

This time we are borrowing an oil painting by Emiko Nomoto.
His work has been selected for a contemporary children's art exhibition, and his poetic style is wonderful.

We decorated the pediatric ward!
Although it is still hot on some days, it has become much cooler in the mornings and evenings.

The decorations in the ward have been changed to depict grape picking.
I wonder if the kids will enjoy it?

With the resumption of tea service starting in September 2024, we invited Representative Director Shima to a tea party in the day room of the palliative care ward. Final confirmation!

We also provide coffee, tea, shaved ice, and other items to our patients, so we hope they will enjoy them.
We will continue to take measures to prevent infection and monitor the current infection situation.

From September 2024, we will resume tea services for patients in the palliative care ward.

This is one of the activities that has been forced to suspend due to COVID-1.
We held a meeting with volunteers in advance to discuss infection control measures and staffing.

A volunteer training course was held on June 6th.
Due to COVID-19, we have not been able to recruit new volunteers for four years,
This time, we welcomed six new members.
Lectures on "infection control" and "basic communication"
We had a practical experience of how to use a wheelchair in front of the hospital.
Thank you in advance.

The rainy season is fast approaching, and we are soothed by the decorations made by volunteers.
You can feel the season from the hydrangeas decorating the palliative care ward!

Is this a chorus of frogs? How adorable!

Volunteers from the pediatric ward have started preparing for the Tanabata decorations!
We decorate bamboo leaves and make cute Tanabata decorations.

I hope the children in the ward will be happy...
New volunteers will be joining us in June.
It would be great if we could make it together.

The new year has started.
Volunteers at the palliative care ward take a photo in front of the wooden cherry blossoms displayed in the day room!
Volunteers in the palliative care ward make decorations for the ward and patient rooms and keep the day room tidy.

From February 2th, we have borrowed works from the Tsukuba Watercolor Society and exhibited them at Hotto Gallery.
^{*Hotto Gallery: Hospital Building 2, 3rd and 4th floor hallway}

Watercolor painters Ishiyama-san, Okano-san, Kawanami-san, and Sasaki-san helped with the exhibition.
There are many works that will make you look forward to spring, such as the title ``Spring White Tulips.''

It's almost Peach Festival.
This is a doll decoration made by Kasama-yaki, a famous pottery made in Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture.

Hina decorations made by volunteers using origami!
This is a very cute princess and doll.

In addition, there were many donated decorations that we displayed in the hospital.

We decorated the entrance of the palliative care ward for Setsubun!

The handmade demon mascot and photo cards were handmade by volunteers.
Palliative care ward staff are also preparing for the Setsubun event!

A snowman appeared at the entrance to the pediatric ward!
