schema_hospital

Schema Hospital is a lightweight extension to the Schema Metatag module that adds 15 missing Schema.org Organization properties commonly needed by healthcare organizations but not included in the base schema_organization submodule.

Why Schema Hospital?

Healthcare organizations need comprehensive Schema.org markup to:

• Improve search engine visibility
• Enable rich snippets in search results
• Help patients find important information quickly
• Provide structured data for voice assistants and AI tools

While the schema_organization module provides 23 basic Organization properties, it's missing critical healthcare-specific fields like medical specialties, employee listings, service catalogs, and organizational identifiers.

What It Does

Schema Hospital adds 15 new fields to the existing schema_organization metatag group:

Basic Information:

- alternateName - Hospital abbreviations and alternate names
- legalName - Official registered legal entity name
- foundingDate - Organization establishment date
- email - Primary contact email address
- numberOfEmployees - Current employee count

Healthcare Relationships:

- employee - Links to staff/provider Person entities (multiple)
- availableService - Links to medical Service entities (multiple)
- medicalSpecialty - Medical specialties offered (multiple)

Organizational Identifiers:

- vatID - Value Added Tax identification
- leiCode - Legal Entity Identifier (20-character code)
- taxID - Tax/Fiscal identification (EIN in US)
- duns - Dun & Bradstreet number
- iso6523Code - ISO 6523 organization identifier
- naics - NAICS classification code (622110 for hospitals)
- globalLocationNumber - GS1 Global Location Number

All fields integrate into the existing schema_organization group and appear together in a single Schema.org Organization JSON-LD object on your homepage.

Key Features

✅ Seamless Integration - Extends existing schema_organization group, not a separate schema
✅ Token Support - All fields support token replacement (works great with Config Pages module)
✅ Multiple Values - Employee, service, and specialty fields support multiple entries
✅ Standards Compliant - All fields match official Schema.org specifications
✅ Well Tested - Comprehensive functional tests included
✅ Drupal 10 & 11 - Compatible with current and next-gen Drupal

Perfect For

• Hospital websites
• Medical clinic sites
• Physician practice websites
• Healthcare system sites
• Medical research organizations
• Any healthcare organization needing comprehensive Schema.org markup

Installation

composer require drupal/schema_hospital
drush en schema_hospital -y
drush cr

Configuration

After installation:

1. Navigate to a metatag configuration page:
- Global: /admin/config/search/metatag/global
- Front page: /admin/config/search/metatag/front
- Content type: /admin/structure/types/manage/[type]/edit

2. Expand the "Schema.org Organization" section

3. Fill in the new Schema Hospital fields alongside existing schema_organization fields

4. Save and clear cache

### Using with Config Pages (Recommended)

For site-wide organization data management:

composer require drupal/config_pages
drush en config_pages -y

Create a config page type for organization schema, add fields matching the Schema.org properties, and use tokens in your metatag configuration:

[config_pages:organization_schema:field_org_alternate_name]
[config_pages:organization_schema:field_org_email]
[config_pages:organization_schema:field_org_num_employees]

Example Output

When configured, your homepage will output JSON-LD like:

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Hospital",
  "name": "Saltmarsh Island Healthcare",
  "alternateName": "SIH",
