The Holy Spirit Hospital, completed in 1286, is one of the oldest existing social institutions in the world and one of the most important buildings in Lübeck.
To this day, the Holy Spirit Hospital is partly a retirement and nursing home.
Leonard Cohen: Hallelujah
"There's nothing to do here
All just lie and complain
In bed at the hospital
Coming and going
Asleep and awake
In bed at the hospital..."

El Hospital de Tavera, también conocido como Hospital de San Juan Bautista, Hospital de afuera o simplemente como Hospital Tavera, es un importante edificio de estilo renacentista. Fue construido entre 1541 y 1603 por orden del cardenal Tavera. Este hospital está dedicado a San Juan Bautista y también sirvió como panteón para su mecenas, el cardenal Tavera. Inicialmente empezó a construirse bajo la supervisión de Alonso de Covarrubias, siendo sucedido por otros arquitectos y terminando la obra Bartolomé Bustamante.
La lejanía con el casco viejo de la ciudad hizo que se le apodara «el hospital de afuera», puesto que dentro de las murallas ya existía el Hospital de Santa Cruz.
Actualmente el edificio sigue siendo propiedad de la Casa de Medinaceli y en su interior se encuentra el Museo Fundación Lerma, que alberga parte de las colecciones artísticas de dicho linaje, así como la Sección Nobleza del Archivo Histórico Nacional. Cabe destacar, asimismo, el magnífico sepulcro del Cardenal Tavera, obra de Alonso de Berrugete.

A hospital ward, could be anywhere I would think. It is functional too, as long as you know what kind of functions are included or excluded. Is a "sense of beauty" functional? Is a piece of art included in the functions offered by a hospital? A flower perhaps? Small things can make a big difference. Most important is the other thing one cannot see in this picture - the humanity of the hospital staff and the person-to-person contact between nurses, doctors and patients. Whatever the architecture.

Luton and Dunstable University Hospital (just a fraction of its frontage). Over the decades, it has grown, more buildings were added, and space becoming ever more precious. The alternative would be to completely rebuild the complex according to medical necessities. For many reasons, however, the add-on approach was chosen, and this led to the highly complex structure we have got today. I am not complaining, I am actually grateful to what the staff are doing. You just need a map to find your way or find somebody giving you directions.
This is the view I had one morning at River Bend Hospital looking out of the giant window toward close conifers and forested land. The sunrise made a band of colors along the horizon.
This mural by Hendog, a graffiti artist who works secretly at night, was discovered in April 2021 on the wall of the hospital in Winchester. It is his tribute to the nurses for their work during the pandemic.
I am always happy to find a new mural by Hendog, who is sometimes described as Hampshire's answer to Banksy.
Here you can find those which I have discovered so far:
