Three Decades of Healing
In 1995, Busia was a growing town with limited private healthcare options. The founders of Tanaka Nursing Home saw an opportunity not just to build a business, but to serve a community.
What started as a small clinic with a handful of staff has grown into a landmark institution. Our history is intertwined with the growth of Busia itself. We have seen generations of families walk through our doors—from mothers delivering their first-borns to grandfathers receiving life-saving treatments.
Early facility expansion (Circa 2005)
Our commitment to reinvesting in technology and talent has allowed us to stay at the forefront of medical care. Whether it was the introduction of our first X-ray machine or the launch of our modern Renal Dialysis unit, every milestone has been driven by the question: "How can we better serve our patients?"
