Kobe Adventist Hospital

Here is the hospital where   everyone can see in the waiting room it is Christian. My daughter-in-law's parents have worked her whole life.  They both worked in the Examination Department (example blood, urine, bm, etc.)  Below is her father who gave us a tour of the hospital. The mother retired last year.  It is time for him to retire too, but the hospital can't find a replacement.  Last time I visited this hospital was 25 years ago when it was 1/2 this size and my husband's aunt was dying of stomache cancer.

On the 4th floor is an outside roof garden for the patients to enjoy.  This is also the floor that has the hospice facilities which are very comfortable and nice for those with only a few months more to live.  
Below is the entrance for the hospital.  Standing in front is mother-in-law, husband, father-in-law and son.  This hospital is very near the Arima Onsen area...kind of up in the mountains far from the downtown Kobe.

Hi there, I found your article on the internet: All our 3 children were born at the Kobe Adventist with the aid of Dr. Hemni. Our eldest born on the 1st april 1975 and as "big surprise" our unexpected twins on the 27th september 1977....... Please pass our best wishes to Dr. Hemni, who is often mentioned in our family!
best regards,
Robert and Elsbeth Nieuwenhuijs.
