A<unk>  is a health care institution providing patient treatment with specialized health science and auxiliary healthcare staff and medical equipment. The best-known type of<unk>  is the general<unk> , which typically has an emergency department to treat urgent health problems ranging from fire and accident victims to a sudden illness. A district<unk>  typically is the major health care facility in its region, with many beds for intensive care and additional beds for patients who need long-term care. Specialized<unk> s include trauma centers, rehabilitation<unk> s, children's<unk> s, seniors' (geriatric)<unk> s, and<unk> s for dealing with specific medical needs such as psychiatric treatment (see psychiatric<unk>  and certain disease categories. Specialized<unk> s can help reduce health care costs compared to general<unk> s.<unk> s are classified as general, specialty, or government depending on the sources of income received. A teaching<unk>  combines assistance to people with teaching to health science students and auxiliary healthcare students. A health science facility smaller than a<unk>  is generally called a clinic.<unk> s have a range of departments (e.g. surgery and urgent care) and specialist units such as cardiology. Some<unk> s have outpatient departments and some have chronic treatment units. Common support units include a pharmacy, pathology, and radiology.<unk> s are typically funded by public funding, health organisations (for-profit or nonprofit), health insurance companies, or charities, including direct charitable donations. Historically,<unk> s were often founded and funded by religious orders, or by charitable individuals and leaders. Currently,<unk> s are largely staffed by professional physicians, surgeons, nurses, and allied health practitioners, whereas in the past, this work was usually performed by the members of founding religious orders or by volunteers. However, there are various Catholic religious orders, such as the Alexians and the Bon Secours Sisters that still focus on<unk>  ministry in the late 1990s, as well as several other Christian denominations, including the Methodists and Lutherans, which run<unk> s. In accordance with the original meaning of the word,<unk> s were original "places of<unk> ity", and this meaning is still preserved in the names of some institutions such as the Royal<unk>  Chelsea, established in 1681 as a retirement and nursing home for veteran soldiers.
