Hospitals and Health Care
A hospital is an institution for health care, often but not always providing
for longer-term patient stays. Today, hospitals are usually funded by the state,
health organizations (for profit or non-profit), health insurances or charities,
including direct charitable donations. In history, however, they were often
founded and funded by religious orders or charitable individuals and leaders.
