medical facilities
Where doctors work
Medical facilities are buildings or complexes where healthcare is provided—hospitals, clinics, urgent care centers, nursing homes, and the like.
The term appears frequently in administrative, legal, and planning contexts: The county lacks adequate medical facilities, zoning laws for medical facilities.
It emphasizes the physical infrastructure rather than the care itself.
