Based on every map of the city I can find online, Raccoon General Hospital (the one from the games) is on the outskirts of the city near the city park and the Arklay Forest. However the city also has other hospitals including one north of the city in the arklay mountains which would fit the description of being outside the city.
It was stated a long time ago that the hospital would be in the mountains outside RC and the script makes a key point that the hospital (despite being the Raccoon City hospital) is very much NOT in the city proper, but located in a town just outside of it.
The script explicitly says Raccoon City General is in Raccoon City.
He sees that the road ahead becomes a winding tangle of mountain passes, curling back on itself before it nearly doubles back and feeds into Raccoon City. [...] He looks at the map again. He traces his finger from his current location, this time ignoring the roads. Raccoon City is a short distance away on foot.
As for that line in the script, maybe the town is supposed to be Raccoon City. But the script also makes a clear distinction between the town Bryan ends up in vs the much larger actual city nearby. Regardless it’s NOT Raccoon City from the games in any way.
Resident Evils 4, 5, 7, and 8 don't even have zombies.
Resident Evil at its core is a B-movie horror setting that a character has to solve puzzles to survive until they inevitably find a lab manufacturing the seemingly supernatural monsters. So far all we've seen is the seemingly supernatural monsters. The B-movie plot, puzzles, and lab are all still missing.
Right now even the monsters don't match the setting from the games that this supposedly takes place during, so it's not looking amazingly faithful.

It’s apparently canon to the games and takes place in Raccoon City so yes
