I am in the hospital vs I am at the hospital

Both 'I am in the hospital' and 'I am at the hospital' are correct phrases, but their meanings are slightly different. 'I am in the hospital' implies that you are physically inside the hospital building, while 'I am at the hospital' suggests that you are at the location of the hospital but not necessarily inside the building.
