This is the 55th most frequent Hebrew word.
החולים
"The sick" or "the patients."
The word 'החולים' means 'the patients'; it is the subject of the sentence, describing people who arrive at the hospital.
החולים מגיעים לבית החולים כל בוקר.
The patients arrive at the hospital every morning.
Here 'החולים' still refers to 'the patients', used as the object of the sentence indicating who benefits from the adequate number of nurses.
דאגנו שיהיו מספיק אחיות לכל החולים.
We ensured there were enough nurses for all the patients.
The term 'החולים' is part of the phrase 'בתי החולים', meaning 'the hospitals', referencing the institutions themselves.
