hospitals can be challenging. lots get shut down, and the smaller ones have severely misplaced coordinates because these surveys go out to the hospitals and a clerk will fill them out with an address, and that address gets geocoded. The address they give is sometimes an address to a branch hospital, or a different building than the treatment center of interest. Very large hospitals have an issue in this way too, and since they are so big that difference can effect the map and access a lot.
