Bowers was one of the hospitals in Sunnydale,[1] along Sunnydale Memorial,[2] Mercy Hospital[3] and the Sunnydale Mental Hospital.[4] Billy Palmer and Laura Egler stayed in the Bowers hospital under the same doctor's care in 1997.[1]
History
Billy became a patient of the Bowers hospital after his Kiddie League coach beat him into a coma. The coach visited him every day ever since, waiting for him to wake up. Billy's astral projection created, among other manifestations, the Ugly Man, who beat Laura and led her to the same hospital. Buffy and Giles visited her and learned about Billy's case.[1]
Under the effects of Billy's astral projection, the hospital suffered a zombie emergence, and a doctor had his hands deformed. Buffy fought and incapacitated the Ugly Man, which allowed Billy to unmask the creature and wake up from his coma. Billy's coach visited his room at that moment and, when the Scooby Gang discovered what he had done to the young boy, Giles and Xander prevented him from escaping.[1]
The hospital was presumably destroyed along with the rest of Sunnydale following the battle at the Hellmouth in 2003.[5]
