"Who pressured these medical centers into doing this? The pressure is coming from somewhere, and it has to be significant pressure. I can’t imagine any medical center terminating 350 difficult-to-impossible to replace employees without very real pressure and without first seeking legal advice."

The AMA is the organization pressuring the hospitals. I read this several days ago, but I can't think of where I read it.

Mark, here may be part of the answer, at least, for your question as referenced by Anne K below:

It appears the feds are requiring all Medicare and Medicaid providers to have their staffs fully vaccinated. That would be a pretty strong incentive for the hospitals and clinics to require vaccination - especially if they have known this was coming down the pike prior to the great dictator's announcement.
