The Hospital is a explorable location in Episode 3 of Life is Strange: Before the Storm.
Episode Three - "Hell Is Empty"[]
After Rachel Amber is stabbed by Damon Merrick at the junkyard, Chloe Price rushes her to the hospital, where two nurses quickly take her to surgery. As Chloe worriedly paces around the waiting room, James and Rose Amber reach the hospital and rush to Rachel's room; later on, James returns to Chloe and asks her what happened, to which Chloe recounts the events at the junkyard. Afterwards, Chloe has the opportunity to visit Mikey North, Drew North, and Steph Gingrich's room and play one last tabletop game; chat with Mikey and Drew's father, Anthony North; speak with Rose; and witness the couple from Overlook Park searching for the maternity wing.
Upon entering room 781, Chloe finds James comforting Rachel before leaving the two girls to talk. Still determined to meet her birth mother, Rachel convinces Chloe to break into James' office in order to gather more information on her. While leaving the room, Chloe comes across Eliot Hampden, who expresses worry over Rachel being a negative influence on Chloe. Afterwards, Chloe notices James comforting Rose in the waiting room before exiting the hospital via elevator.
After confronting Damon and finding Sera at the old sawmill, Chloe returns to the hospital to find Rachel being comforted by her parents. After James and Rose leave, Rachel asks Chloe whether she succeeded in finding information on her birth mother.
