Spanish term or phrase: SANATORIOS (ARGENTINA)
La tendencia se orienta hacia la tercerización y diversificación de la atención en entidades especializadas. Incluso algunos planes de salud de sanatorios y hospitales de comunidad incluyen la posibilidad de derivar pacientes a instituciones contratadas.

Explanation:
La respuesta de esgarbos es correcta.

En Argentina Sanatorios y Clínicas son prácticamente lo mismo (creo que la diferencia está en el tamaño, un Sanatorio es más grande) y son privados, en contrapartida a lo que es un Hospital Público que es gratuito, salvo que uno tiene que comprar todos los elementos que necesita en la farmacia.

Hoy en día, prácticamente todos los Sanatorios, Clínicas y Hospitales Privados (que también los hay) trabajan con las medicinas prepagas.

Saludos! :)

Explanation:
A sanatorio is loke a long term hospital where you go for extended care and rest - to recuperate from a debilitating illness, to receive care for a terminal illness, etc. where you need nursing care around the clock but not necesarily a hospital.

Explanation:
It's me again - I just gave you the rest home/sanatorium answer. I'm from Mexico and this is what they are in Mexico but I was just talking to a friend from Panama (and brought it up because the whole Argentina thing kinda bugged me - terminology is different in different dialects) and she said that in Panama a sanatorio is a clinic (as she put it, a "not quite a hospital") so I had to look you back up and "avisarte" because I don't want to steer you wrong.

SUERTE!

clinics/healthcare centers


Explanation:
A cognate for the English "sanatoria," but a misleading one, at least throughout the Río de la Plata region, where we would call them «sanatorios para convalecientes».
Hope this works for you.

clinic


Explanation:
A clinic or sanatorio, in Argentina, is a private institution where you can get medical treatments, in opposition to hospital which is generally big and medical treatments are much more cheaper or even free.

Private hospital


Explanation:
Chilean:
Como médica argentina que vive hace 10 años en USA, la expresión que yo usaría para "Sanatorio" es "Private Hospital". En tu texto parecería que "sanatorio" está incluido como contrapartida de "hospitales de comunidad", es decir, una entidad privada, la otra pública.

La palabra "sanatorium" acá quiere decir otra cosa, como dice Happyfam. La palabra "Clinic" por otra parte aquí es lo que en Argentina llamamos "consultorio".
Suerte
