medical district

Healthcare facility area

A medical district is an urban area with a concentration of hospitals, clinics, research facilities, and related healthcare services.

These districts often develop around major teaching hospitals or medical schools, drawing physicians' offices, pharmacies, and medical suppliers to the surrounding blocks: The city invested heavily in its medical district.

Some are formally designated zones with special planning or tax provisions.
