hospital system
Medical facility chain
A hospital system is a network of hospitals and related healthcare facilities operating under unified ownership or management.
These systems may span a region or operate nationally, combining hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialty centers under a single administrative structure.
The hospital system acquired three rural clinics last year.
Hospital systems often leverage their size for purchasing power, shared services, and coordinated patient care across locations.
