Re: posible hospital lein
They cannot put a lien on the property unless they have a judgment on your father. You don't say whether they have a judgment or not so I can't answer that definitively. If your father gives you 20 of his 80 acres, and they sue within 5 years of that happening, they could argue that it is a fraudulent transfer and go after your property. Before your father gives you land, you should consult a local attorney about how to go about it properly so that you don't have to worry about your father's creditors trying to put liens on it.
