The Bikini Bottom Hospital is the main hospital that appears in the series.
About
Description
Exterior
The exterior of the hospital, unlike its interior, has not changed much if at all. The exterior contains an arch, designed to appear as one-half of a lifesaver, with the word "Emergency" written on it. The main makeup of the building is basically a wooden cube. Expenditures, such as windows and blue building-like extensions, are present throughout the exterior of the building.
Interior
The interior of the hospital has changed extensively throughout its appearances in the series. In its debut appearance, it only features one large, chrome doctor's room, belonging to Purple Doctorfish. Throughout the series continuity, many rooms have been added, such as a waiting room, several hallways, large medical rooms, and other rooms.
