According to Chat AI GPT, a "sister hospital" refers to a hospital that is affiliated or connected with another hospital, often through a formal partnership or shared ownership. This relationship allows for collaboration, resource sharing, and sometimes specialized services to be provided across both hospitals.

Note my changes to the layout above. Whenever you quote someone else's words, please put the source information directly after the quote. Leave an empty line then ask your question. It makes it much clearer that "What does 'sister hospital' mean?" is not part of the quote from that source.
