No matter what we face, at the end of our lives, we believe that the meaning of our being will be carried on, beyond time and space, as if the warmth of one's hand will be passed on from one to another. Japan Heart, as one of the most reliable and promising international medical organizations, will never stop evolving in order to help bring everyone's invaluable life into a brilliant future. -We celebrate every encountering as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share the moment, and thus commit ourselves to provide an excellent hospitality, through which all involved will find happiness and contentment. -We sincerely listen to our caring instinct, and serve the disadvantaged who do not have access to medical care, with no discrimination by nationality, race, politics, religion, or circumstance. -We do not measure our lives in terms of money, status, or fame. Instead, we act on what we believe is truly valuable; trust, compassion/consideration, appreciation, courtesy/moderation, and wisdom. -Japan Heart's initiatives and actions represent a project, where experienced individuals, and young people who possess capabilities and potential, collaborate to generate trends of the time, and create cultural and historical values. -We shall acknowledge and respect who each of us is, believe in ourselves, and keep challenging ourselves for self-realization and social welfare. -We must sincerely and deeply study our history, and try to live for the moment to the fullest while looking ahead to the future, so that we can contribute to social well-being both at home and abroad. -In order to become the best international medical professionals, we shall keep our minds and bodies clean, never fail to pay careful attention to everyday life, understand that serving is our natural duty, do our best without ego and arrogance, and continue to improve ourselves day by day. -'Quality' is the most crucial value for us.
Our mission is: to deliver interaction with therapy dog to all people who need the power of therapy dog. Do you know that there are many people who spend every day looking forward to communicating with dogs? People who live in institutions such as nursing homes, often suffer from a build-up of stress and a feeling of loneliness. Of course the staff there do their best to offer a good care, however, sometimes it is not enough to comfort them. When these people spend time with dogs, those animals soothe and ease the mind, bringing out a smile from the people. People with physical disabilities or restricted movements try to move close to a dog too. They are often so touched as to shed a tear. Among those who have experienced the time with these dogs, some say "I'm truly looking forward to seeing the dog again," and spend their days waiting for the next meeting. In order to offer this healing contact with dogs to the many people who eagerly await it, in November 2009, we acquired the authentication from Japanese government to found JATA (Specified Nonprofit Corporation Japan Animal Therapy Association). It is run thanks to the cooperation of all our members, and we endeavor to spread animal therapy work throughout the country and the world. We work with more than 150 therapy dogs to provide contact with therapy dogs to all those who desire it. We would like to build a bridge that links the hearts of people and dogs.
