infirmaries

Clinic treatment rooms

Infirmaries are places where sick or injured people receive care.

The term typically refers to medical facilities within larger institutions—schools, workplaces, military bases, or monasteries—rather than full hospitals: The nurse sent him to the infirmary to rest.

Some hospitals, especially older ones, retain infirmary in their names.
