health facilities
Where patients go
Health facilities are buildings or locations where medical care is provided.
The term covers the full range of healthcare settings—hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, urgent care centers, doctors' offices, and rehabilitation centers.
Government reports and healthcare administration favor the term: The region lacks adequate health facilities for its growing population.
