I've actually engineered some WiFi at come medical clinics and it does depend on the gear you purchase. Cisco addresses this in their "marketing" and technical spec sheets. The two major hospitals in my area use wireless for their phones and mobile laptops for the nurses as they go room to room on a push cart.

The life safety/support equipment is most likely not certified to be resistant to 2.4Ghz interference. It's been a while since I looked up ISM allocations but, I can tell you that I've seen many "good ideas" shot down because of the "potential to interfere" with the medical equipment.
