medical facility
Where doctors work
A medical facility is any building or complex where healthcare services are provided.
The term covers everything from small clinics and doctors' offices to large hospitals and specialized treatment centers.
The nearest medical facility is twenty miles away.
The phrase appears frequently in official, administrative, or emergency contexts where precision about the type of institution matters less than its function.
