county hospitals
Local public healthcare
County hospitals are medical facilities owned and operated by county governments, typically serving residents regardless of ability to pay.
They function as safety-net hospitals, providing care to uninsured and underinsured populations: The county hospital's emergency room sees everyone who walks in.
In the United States, they often anchor public health systems in their regions.
