Many countries have dedicated network for medical services.
If you don't you could use dark fibre, MPLS, etc.
Connecting to an network should not automatically get you routable access to the internet. A lot of headaches from cyber attacks would go away with this was the principle. But for a lot of people connecting to the "network" means unfettered "Internet" connectivity.
I've worked at places that have used dark fibre and MPLS and had no security problems, as that's not an easy attack vector. Moving to 'SDN WAN' means now sites are connected to the _Internet_ and a simple DDOS can take your branch down.
This may or may not be important to you, but the general advice of keeping off the Internet as much as possible unless you need it is good advice (and a vendor not offering central deployment of updates is a pretty poor excuse).
