SimCity 4/Health

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

Health facilities are needed for wealthy people to move in. They allow people to live longer, thus making more of them available as your workforce and making it easier for them to gain education over their lifespan. If your city is heavily polluted, it will affect the people's health negatively.

The game provides a clinic and a hospital. Contrary to common belief, these two serve the same purpose and are simply small-large variations. There are also certain rewards and ordinances that improve the health quotient.
