Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Hospital
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. Hospitals are nowadays staffed by professional physicianssurgeons and nurses, whereas in history, this work was usually done by the founding religious orders or by volunteers.
