TMPU Wakabayashi Hospital was founded in 1979 by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation, which has occupied the same location in Wakabayashi-ku, Sendai-shi, since its inception. Over the course of its history, which spans several decades and the Great East Japan Earthquake, has continued to serve the community's health needs. The Faculty of Medicine graduated its first class of 90 new doctors in March 2022, and the hospital played a key role in preparing those graduates for their careers: when the Faculty opened six years ago, the hospital became the program's affiliate medical institution. We are also the only general hospital in Wakabayashi-ku.
