How many US hospitals by number of beds? Something like...
<150 beds: x
150-300 beds: y
>300 beds: z
Total x+y+z

Am not sure what the size breakout will be exactly. I'll also accept
size broken out by number of hospital employees.

Hello TAilwag, 


Total Number of All U.S. Registered Hospitals 5,759

Total Staffed Beds in All U.S. Registered Hospitals  955,768

Journal of the Medical Library Association
2006 April; 94(2): 118?129. 

According to AHA's Hospital Statistics 2002 there are 5,810 hospitals
in the United States.

?Again using the data from the Benchmarking Network 2002 survey and
AHA's Hospital Statistics 2002, the percentage of participants in the
survey and the percentage of beds in each AHA bed-size category can be
compared, as shown in Figure 5. Using the 8-bed size categories for
AHA's 5,810 hospitals, the percentage of hospitals and survey
participants in each category was determined. The bed-size category of
100?199 has the strongest match, containing 24.8% of hospitals and 20%
of library participants. No libraries reported in the
under-50-bed-size hospitals, which made up 23.5% of all hospitals.
Hospitals over 300 beds made up 15.8% of all hospitals, whereas in the
Benchmarking Network 2002 survey, 53% of participants were in this
range.?
