[Seekthetruth]

I did not see any forums on Healthcare Facilities. There seems to be a growing demand as our population ages.

Do rehabilitation rooms in medical buildings qualify for NEC 517?

Start with the definition of Healthcare facilities.

Health Care Facilities. Buildings or portions of buildings
in which medical, dental, psychiatric, nursing, obstetrical,
or surgical care are provided. Health care facilities include,
but are not limited to, hospitals, nursing homes, limited
care facilities, clinics, medical and dental offices, and ambulatory
care centers, whether permanent or movable.

then read 517.10

We don't get that many questions on health care, no need for an additional topic

Besides what’s the use of new or different topic anyways? I mean if someone post something in Grounding and Bonding forum then the same people analyze and read post who analyze and read NEC forum post. No difference so why even have different topics. No? Are there different people reading different topics post or same?

Yes good comments. But its nice to have a separate topic for example Hazardous Locations, so our expert in that area can quickly find it. Lately we have gotten a lot of question on fire pumps, actually more than health care. With the new forum software, I just look for whats new. But someone searching for info on Lighting, would go to that topic
