# Organizations

Organizations (FHIR `Organization`) represent healthcare providers, hospital departments, insurance companies, and other entities involved in care delivery. They form the organizational hierarchy that practitioners and services belong to.

## Create an Organization

```ts theme={null}
const { data: org } = await clinik.organizations.create({
  name: 'Sunrise Medical Center',
  type: ['prov'],
  phone: '555-0100',
  email: 'admin@sunrise-medical.com',
  address: {
    line: ['100 Health Blvd'],
    city: 'Austin',
    state: 'TX',
    postalCode: '78701',
    country: 'US',
  },
  contact: [
    {
      purpose: 'billing',
      firstName: 'Sarah',
      lastName: 'Johnson',
      email: 'billing@sunrise-medical.com',
      phone: '555-0101',
    },
    {
      purpose: 'admin',
      firstName: 'Mike',
      lastName: 'Chen',
      email: 'admin@sunrise-medical.com',
    },
  ],
});
```

## Organization Hierarchy

  name: 'Cardiology Department',
  type: ['dept'],
  partOfId: org.id,
  phone: '555-0110',
});
```
