Hey can you share what features are needed for this hospital website? So that way we can best help.
Investigate the OpenMRS project if you want to handle patient records.
And the CiviCRM project, which can be layered in above WordPress.
If you want a simple website with contact information, available services, and that sort of thing, WordPress is an OK choice. Investigate what kind of devices your patients and their families use, and test the site on those.
Your question, with respect, is impossible to answer definitively without a lot more requirements information.
I am a full time WP dev and the only time i do NOT recommend WP is when it comes to health care. It’s targeted pretty hard.
To clarify, any system is more at risk in healthcare due to the sensitive nature of its data, ie medical records. I’d rather see a .net, or some other proprietary server stack, compromised other than WP. It already gets a bad name in the security world and the finger is always pointed at WP, and of course always something else, like an admin with “password” as their password.
The hospital might have seen that’d you would take the job for a fraction of the price. Most qualified devs know how much of a pain health care is and they charge an arm and a leg.
