The Three Main Spheres of Our Work at Mitsui Memorial Hospital
The three principal spheres in which our medical practice at Mitsui Memorial Hospital is focussed are represented below. Our human and material resources are invested generously in all three.
The Origin of Our Logo
Our logo is a combination of the concepts of (1) "The best and most advanced medical care," represented by the shapes of two healthy young leaves in two shades of blue, colors used to express the reliability and friendliness of MMH as a progressive institution of general medicine, and of (2) the power of nature and life itself.
The gently curved, outer, strong blue bands and the central white bands also symbolize the doctors and nursing staff treating and caring for the patients, who are represented by the pale blue bands. These curves indicate gentleness and kindness. In addition, the initial capital letter 'M' of Mitsui Memorial Hospital is depicted by this logo (and, for some, may also suggest the popular image of a heart).
The selection of this design was made on the basis of the votes of the entire staff of the hospital from a large number of submitted applications.
