polyclinic
Outpatient medical hub
A polyclinic is a medical facility offering outpatient care across multiple specialties under one roof—general practice, pediatrics, dermatology, and so on.
Unlike a hospital, it typically doesn't admit patients for overnight stays.
The term is more common in European and Asian healthcare systems than in American English: She went to the polyclinic for her annual checkup.
