Juliette Mullin, Senior Editor

Now, CDC says that future Ebola cases in the United States will be routed to selected hospitals for care. "There's a need for specialized centers when there is a patient with confirmed Ebola, or a number of patients if that were to happen in the future," says CDC Director Tom Frieden.

But which hospitals will serve as these Ebola centers?
