regional hospitals
Area medical centers
Regional hospitals are medical facilities serving a geographic area larger than a single community but smaller than an entire state or nation.
They typically offer more specialized services than local hospitals but fewer than major urban medical centers: The patient was airlifted to the regional hospital for trauma care.
They often serve as referral centers for smaller facilities in surrounding areas.
