Health Activity means an approved, accredited, or licensed nonprofit medical facility, entity, or organization the primary function of which is the furnishing of health and medical services through the conduct of research for any such purpose, experiments, training, or demonstrations related to cause, prevention, and methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries. The term includes but is not limited to hospitals, clinics, alcohol and drug abuse treatment centers, health or treatment centers, research and health centers, geriatric centers, laboratories, medical schools, dental schools, nursing schools, and similar institutions. The term does not include institutions primarily engaged in domiciliary care although a separated medical facility within such a domiciliary institution may qualify as a medical institution. Approved means recognition and approval by State department of health, or other appropriate authority where no recognized accrediting board, association, or other authority exists for the purpose of making an accreditation. For a public health institution or program, approval must relate to the medical requirements and standards for the professional and technical services of the institution established by the appropriate authority. A health institution or program may be considered as approved when a State body having authority under law to establish standards and requirements for public health institutions renders approval thereto whether by accreditation procedures or by licensing or such other method prescribed by State law. In the absence of an official State approving authority for a public health institution, the awarding of research grants to the institution or organization by a recognized authority such as the National Institute of Health, or by similar national advisor council or organization may constitute approval of the institution or program provided all other criteria are met. Licensed means recognition and approval by the appropriate State or local authority approving institutions or programs in specialized area. Licensing generally relates to established minimum public standards of safety, sanitation, staffing, and equipment as they relate to the construction, maintenance, and operation of a health facility, rather than to the medical standards for these institutions. Accredited means approval by a recognized accrediting board or association on a regional, State, or national level, such as State Board of Health or the American Hospital Association. A COMPLETE NARRATIVE OF YOUR PROGRAM SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH YOUR APPLICATION. INCLUDE TYPE OF SERVICES, NUMBERS OF BEDS AND/OR PATIENTS SERVED, FACILITIES, STAFF, ETC.
