Hey all. Just wondering if anyone knows the difference between a tertiary hospital and a primary care hospital. I know the difference between tertiary and primary healthcare, but don't quite understand the difference when it comes to hospitals. I noticed when looking through employment adds in some nursing mags, some facilities identify themselves as either primary or tertiary. Just curious. Any feedback is welcome.
