==Arrival at Hospital==
#Walking through electric doors is an issue. If there's no other door, one can walk immediately behind a non-Jew who is walking there anyway and is opening it for themselves.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 40:19</ref>
#If that's not an option and there is a Jew who isn't religious or someone who doesn't realize and walks through the doors, one can follow him closely and walk through once he already opened them.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 40:19</ref>

==Elevators and Stairs==
# Using a Shabbos elevator is a discussion.
# Using a stairwell in a hospital might involve triggering automatic lights. If so, one should not take the stairs. See here.
