hospital wing

Care unit area

A hospital wing is a distinct section or annex of a hospital building, typically housing specific departments or patient types: the maternity wing, the psychiatric wing.

Wings extend from a main structure, and large hospitals organize care by separating functions into different wings.

The term sometimes refers informally to any major hospital division, regardless of architecture.
