The daily puzzle:
What does '*****' mean in the following text?
"A ***** is a health care institution providing patient treatment by specialised staff and equipment. *****s are usually funded by the public sector, by health organisations (for profit or nonprofit), health insurance companies, or charities, including direct charitable donations. Historically, *****s were often founded and funded by religious orders or charitable individuals and leaders. Today, *****s are largely staffed by professional physicians, surgeons, and nurses, whereas in the past, this work was usually performed by the founding religious orders or by volunteers."--++--++--
