German to English Medical Medical: Health Care

care centres run by non-governmental organizations/charities

An attempt based on the German distinction between centres that are run either by

- private businesses(privat; gewerbliche Unternehmen)

- state institutions (öffentlich; kommunal) or

- charities/NGOs (Träger der kirchlichen oder freien Wohlfahrtspflege).
Peer comment(s):

community health centres

- "best guess" in the absence of context... possibly the other labels on the pie chart will influence the final decision.

Ref: entry in "Glossar des kirchlichen Sprachgebrauchs" by M+R Trott

Sozialstation: "community or out-patient health and social service centre"

agree Dietrich Herrmann, MD, PhD, MBA : My geriatric brain can't come up with anything better. See http://free-online-long-term-care-insurance-quotes.com/Commu...
