"A TOWN WHERE ANYONE CAN LEAD A HEALTHY & HAPPY LIFE"

INTEGRATED POLICY:
Onagawa pursues a comprehensive health and welfare policy on multiple levels, including areas such as adult education, sports and nutrition guidance, with the aim of allowing all residents to live life to the fullest.

HOSPITAL CARE:
the focus of Onagawa's hospital policy lies in the municipal hospital, a modern facility opened in 1997 that boasts round the clock care, state of the art equipment and remote diagnosis, to enable speedier, more accurate, and more efficient health care.

CHILD-REARING:
Onagawa provides assistance in child-rearing with 5 municipal preschools that include consultation corners for those with questions about raising a child. In response to demand, care for physically and mentally challenged children and infants, and also extended hour care have also been introduced.

CARE FOR THE AGED:
with the elderly making up 25% of the town's population, Onagawa is very much aware of the importance of support in this area. Provisions such as a home help service, a short stay service to aid those caring for elderly relatives, financial support for home conversion for the elderly, and community-organized recreational activities are being promoted in addition to day centers and old people's homes.
