Catholic hospital

Religious healthcare facility

A Catholic hospital is a healthcare facility operated by or affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church.

These hospitals follow religious directives that may restrict certain procedures—most notably abortion, sterilization, and some end-of-life interventions.

Many are run by religious orders and serve as major healthcare providers in their communities: The nearest trauma center is the Catholic hospital downtown.
