Do people name hospitals after religious ideas to give their patients the belief that miracles can happen if they are terminally ill?

An example is Mount Sinai Hospital - this is clearly named after the Jewish teacher in the bible, Moses. A lot of hospitals have religious names. I wonder if it is done for therapeutic purposes.

I think it’s because the hospital is endowed by a religious organization. Like there are a lot of Catholic hospitals and I think Mount Sinai is Jewish.

No, most hospitals are owned and run by churches thats why these churches name their hospital after important religious figures.

No, they're named after Catholic orders and nunneries that founded them.
