What is the difference.......?
What is the difference between a hospital that has a religious type name and one that does not? Like for example: Baptist Medical Center or Presbyterian Hospital versus City Hospital or County Medical Center? Is there a difference in the source of funding? Is there a difference in how the facility is managed, maintained, and operated? Is there a difference in how it is treated and deals and regulated by the government? And are all religiously named hospitals nonprofit? Do some of these religiously named hospitals ever also a part of a medical university?

Most hospitals are built or expanded upon by generous donations by people interested in serving a community. Often, the ones doing the donating are churches. It's also common for a wing of a hospital to be named after a person who donated money to have the wing built.

The main difference is that if you die in a religious hospital you have a short cut to heaven.

mostly because money was donated. there really is no difference other than that.
