Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we discuss facility location problems arising in the context of healthcare. We concentrate on three main areas: the most classical one is healthcare facility location which is closely related to public facility location. Secondly, we look at ambulance planning which includes ambulance location and relocation problems. In the last part, we give an overview of hospital layout problems. For all three parts, we state some important models and give an overview of relevant literature as well as current research directions. A comprehensive reference list is included at the end of the chapter.
