Help with the Map Tool labels

Hi there,

 

I'm working in Power BI Desktop. I am mapping hospitals in Canada using the postal code. I don't have access (at this time) to longitude and latitude.  In the 'Location' field I'm using Postal Code (ie: K0M2C0). My legend has the hospital names. What I want to do is have the on map label be the hospital name. When I hadd the Hospital Name to under Postal Code it still shows the postal code as the lable, and the tool tip shows the Postal Code and the Hospital name. However if I reverse the order with the Hospital name first the map goes off the rails and posts data points all over the world since there are organizations in other countries with similar names.

 

Is there a way to make this work the way I would like with out having the longitude and latitude?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
