    Both are good. It depends on the context -- any [a] hospital or a particular [the] hospital whose identity has already been established. – Mick Dec 29 '16 at 10:30

If you use "the hospital" you are referring to a specific hospital(Ex. St. John's) and are therefore focusing on the exact place she works in.

If she works in "a hospital", it just means she is a doctor, nurse, etc.. and the place where she works is not important. In this case the focus of the conversation lies on her job.
