The premiere wizard hospital in all of Britain, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries is not only where most magical accidents, injuries, and maladies get treated, but also where healers learn their trade. Healers are not like Muggle doctors, and magical healing is entirely different from Muggle medicine.

Long Term Care
On the Fourth Floor of St. Mungo's, along with the Spell Damage Ward, is the Long-Term Residence Ward, which is usually kept locked. This ward is for patients with permanent or long-lasting damage. It is generally thought of as a mental ward, because damage to the mind is the most difficult and lengthy to cure (if possible at all), so the ward is full of patients suffering from various mental disorders. But there are resident with more physical damage as well.
