Public Hospital Law and Legal Definition
A public hospital is one that is open to the public generally and is operated without private profit. It dispenses public charity, or renders its services without charging for them. It is not necessary that a public hospital be owned by the public. [Hibbing v. Commissioner of Taxation, 217 Minn. 528, 532-533 (Minn. 1944)].
