A hospital

Hi,

Are these sentences natural?
1. I need to go to a hospital.
2. He was taken to a hospital.

I know it's more common for people to say "the hospital". But if the city has 4 hospitals and the exact hospital is not important, can I say "a hospital"? Or only "the" is natural? Or both

Thanks
