outpatient clinic
No-admission medical center
An outpatient clinic is a medical facility where patients receive treatment or consultation without being admitted for overnight stays.
Unlike hospitals, outpatient clinics handle routine care, minor procedures, and follow-up visits: I have an appointment at the outpatient clinic for my blood work.
The term distinguishes these facilities from inpatient services requiring hospitalization.
