CUC was founded on August 8, 2014, with a vision to build a sustainable healthcare system for the future in which our children will live.

What began as a small spark — a personal commitment to social change — has grown into a powerful flame shared by many colleagues, spreading across the world under our mission: Creating hope through healthcare.

By 2040, aging populations, labor shortages, increasing demand for medical and long-term care, and the sustainability of social security systems will become even more serious challenges, both in Japan and globally.

While we continue to adapt flexibly to these changes to eliminate inefficiencies and burdens in healthcare, our mission remains unchanged: we aim to achieve both the spread of patient-centered healthcare and the creation of workplaces filled with pride and purpose.

To realize patient-centered healthcare, we must rethink the very role of medicine. Healthcare today is evolving from a traditional model focused on “curing” to one that both “cures and supports” daily living.

This transformation requires not only collaboration across medical and long-term care sectors, but also the active use of technology such as AI — all grounded in strong on-site capabilities. Moving beyond a disease-centered, siloed system, we seek to provide comprehensive, community-based care that focuses on each patient’s life.

This patient-focused approach is needed worldwide. Since 2024, the CUC Group has expanded its business in the United States in the fields of podiatry and venous disease, supporting patients’ fundamental ability to “walk.”
Guided by our mission, Creating hope through healthcare, we are putting “collaboration beyond boundaries” into practice — professionals from diverse disciplines and countries working together toward a shared goal.

The other pillar of our vision — workplaces with pride and purpose — also depends on the strength of our frontline teams. By identifying challenges and driving continuous improvement in daily practice, we enhance organizational productivity and create more meaningful services.
As a result, we believe both patient satisfaction and employee fulfillment will grow together.

Our goal is for the CUC Group to become a healthcare organization most needed and trusted in every community, in Japan and beyond.

Through a culture that pursues patient-centered healthcare and workplaces filled with pride and purpose, we will continue to evolve — under the spirit of “Change Until Change.”
 Together, we will keep transforming ourselves to realize hope through healthcare.
