I'm confused about residencies.

Each medical school in the US has either its own hospital (like U. Chicago), affiliated teaching hospitals (like Harvard Medical School, which has no beds and no patients itself) or most commonly a mix of both. You can usually find this stuff on the med school’s web site, but it may take some digging.

Some schools, Chicago among them, also place students in community outpatient medical setting for various rotations.

The only reason this issue may matter is that at some places, students need a car to get to training locations that are distant. But this is stuff you’d learn about during interviews and such.

Finally, shared facilities, like the example above (Grady), are rather uncommon to my knowledge.
