When one call 911, how is the call automatically local?

Hypothetically speaking, if someone is living in New York and they call 911, how does the call not go through a hospital in Los Angeles or other city from another state? How does the call automatically transfer to a local hospital in the area one lives in?

The numbers go to the phone tower, the phone tower is under a specific emergency service and they get the call. There are mixups all the time next to borders due to the call going through the nearest tower.
