I am putting together EMS coverage planning for the Western Cape and need each residential pickup address tagged with its nearest hospital so the ops-research team can join the result against shift schedules. For every address in `addresses.parquet`, find the nearest hospital from `hospitals.parquet` by straight-line distance and record that hospital's name plus the distance in metres. Keep the original `address_id` from the input so we can join back to the address master, and make sure `nearest_hospital_name` comes through as a non-empty string and `distance_m` as a numeric, finite, non-negative value in metres.
Please write the result to `nearest_hospital.gpkg` in GeoPackage format with one feature per input address, keeping the original address geometry and the columns `address_id`, `nearest_hospital_name`, and `distance_m`.
