hospital tour

Medical building visit

A hospital tour is a guided walk through a medical facility, typically for prospective patients, expectant parents visiting a maternity ward, or students considering healthcare careers.

The phrase also describes the grim experience of visiting multiple hospitals seeking treatment or a diagnosis: After a hospital tour that lasted months, they finally found a specialist who could help.
