New form of health support from the angles of medical care, exercise, and nutrition, linked by nationally certified dietitians
At SUGI Pharmacy Hayashiji Store, nationally certified dietitians provide nutritional consultations in cooperation with the clinic and fitness club housed on the second floor of the store. In this new initiative to support health from the three angles of medical care, exercise, and nutrition, we provide individualized guidance with patients encouraged by the clinic doctor to have nutritional guidance, using their blood and body composition data. In addition, at the fitness club on the second floor, we regularly hold events on themes such as dementia prevention and muscle loss, helping to raise health awareness among local residents. Providing comprehensive health support through the store, we are striving to establish a future healthcare model.
Providing support for breast cancer patients
As part of the Pink Ribbon Campaign for raising the public awareness of early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of breast cancer, we donated medical hair wigs to 100 breast cancer patients.
Organizing wig sales events
We periodically organized wig sales events at our flagship stores. By featuring well-tuned counseling by wig makers at the sales venues, the events helped the customers feel close to wigs. While ensuring sales, we contributed to increasing the QOL of patients suffering from an adverse effect of anticancer drug treatment.
Health promotion seminars by the Sugiura Memorial Foundation
In cooperation with the SUGI Pharmacy Group, the Sugiura Memorial Foundation annually holds seminars in operating areas of SUGI Pharmacy nationwide in order to help local residents, including senior citizens and their families, understand about the latest medical treatment and disease prevention and feel more keenly the importance of early detection and treatment of disease, as well as preventive care against dementia and other geriatric diseases.
Background of the establishment of the Sugiura Memorial Foundation
In September 2011, when the SUGI Pharmacy Group celebrated the 35th anniversary of its establishment, the Sugiura Community Healthcare Promotion Foundation was established, with Hirokazu Sugiura and Akiko Sugiura, who had established SUGI Pharmacy, as the organization’s founders, in the hope that they could reciprocate the support extended by local residents so far and be of use as much as possible by contributing to society. In July 2015, the foundation was certified as a public service corporation and renamed the Sugiura Memorial Foundation. Not only does it continue to support individuals and organizations that work toward realizing a comprehensive community care system, but the foundation also contributes to society extensively in the fields of dementia and preventive care.
