A "health" center might have training programs in dentistry, for example, or allied health, that a "medical" center might not. I say "might" because there are no definitions set in stone. In my institution we have similar disputes over "institute" and "center"; generally the persons who have fixed definitions in mind are remembering an entity from a previous institution and assuming that what they saw there is a universal definition.
