health facility
Place for treatment
A health facility is any location where medical care is provided—hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, urgent care centers, doctors' offices.
The term is administrative rather than conversational, appearing in policy documents, insurance forms, and public health contexts: The nearest health facility is twenty miles away.
