I thought it was obvious from the context of the cooperation being between two hospitals.

In terms of prescriptive grammar, I'm not so sure if both word orders (in relation to the modifiers) would be equally supported by prescriptive grammar rules. That said, both may sound acceptable to the vast majority of native speakers (at least in the US). If I had to choose one right now (without consulting any traditional grammar books), I'd go with my first suggestion.

Discussion
Clearly it could be healthcare-related as Marcelo says, which in that case could be redundant, as Aoife rightly points out.
But could it refer to the hospital and clinic allowing the medical students to attend patients as practical experience (in the sense of "asistir")? Because the whole paragraph and Daniela's next questions are about medical students and their graduation, etc.
Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill...
