Can you show a pick of the room with your mouse hovered over the room? That way we can see both the room and the temperature display.
Holy @#!" that's a great idea! I normally set to -20c but by god am I doing that from now on!
You will need airlock and at least double-thickness walls to make it work more or less well.
But I prefer simply to disable this fantasy event (emp pulse will literaly burn your electronic components, while radiation levels able to do it will cause lethal radiation sickness to your pawns without any chances to survive).
You really should upload a screenshot of this so we can see how it's constructed. That's the only way anyone can give you an specific advice.
Make sure there is no obstruction behind the unit. It needs to have the space immediately behind it free of obstruction in order to operate.
Think of the cooler as just a heat mover. It moves heat from the blue side to the red side. And, any space on the red side will get heated up. That means that, for instance, if it's an enclosed space that doesn't have a good vent to the outside, that whole space will heat up. And, if that happens, the interior wall is going to transfer that heat right back into the room you're trying to cool. So... unless you're using the red side of the cooler to heat up a cold room, you need to have it venting outside. (And, if it is heating up a formerly cold room, that heat still can't be allowed to accumulate forever. Some will escape, of course, but small rooms heated this way can quickly become unbearable.)
If colonists are constantly moving in and out of a small room that's being cooled, that's going to allow more heat in. Double-dooring your entrance, making a sort of airlock effect, helps reduce how severe this effect will be. (It's a pretty substantial reduction.)
Double walling the room will limit how severe the interactions between inside and outside temperature exchanges are. Doubl-walling is the "standard" in Rimworld where you're trying to stabilize temperature exchange to keep a room at a certain temperature. The type of wall you use for this does not matter at all as wall materials do not have differing insulation values.
Vents are great for equalizing temperature, but their main draw is that you can open or close them with just a click. If you have any vents in that room, make sure they're closed.
If the hospital area is largely surrounded by things like interior hallways, the temperature of those hallways matter a great deal, just like they would if those areas were outsiide. If the hallways are hot, either use vents to get the heat taken out by neighboring coolers or give them their own cooler. Hallways often get overlooked. (I had overlooked this in one area in my base and found out how big a problem it actually was.
Scoure the tiles around the area to be sure everything that you want to be "inside" is actually "inside." Hover the cursor over areas and look at the bottom right display. It will indicate if the tile is inside or outside. On the left, bottom, you can see if it is roofed or not. Or, you can either use the bottom-right option to display all the roofs or you can just go into the Zones menu and select one of the Roof tools to display those.
It's worth noting that all it takes is for one neighoring set of tiles to be hot for a room to get hotter, especially if it's not double-walled. Every little bit counts. I have a base that frequently gets hit with obnoxious heat waves and pulled my hair out trying to min/max things to get my food-storage areas under control. It took a heck of a lot of work, especially since I built things without knowing all the mechancis, first. Now, it's all under control and I don't have to worry too much.
PS - Keep a bank of switched, fully charged, batteries ready in case of any emergency power needs. (Except solar flares. If you encounter those, build evaporative coolers in an emergency - They don't require power.) Whenever you get a zzzt or eclipse that saps your reserves, switch those batteries back. Make sure to keep them charged up and switched off when not in use.
Post a screenpic of the hospital and adjoining areas for more specific help.
