Overview
The House of Healing contains a hospital, including an annex; a library upstairs; a graveyard; and most noticeably a large operating theatre that bears a strong resemblance to anatomical theatres of old that were used to dissect cadavers. It is staffed entirely by undead, and led by Malus Thorm who serves as the general surgeon.
Waypoints
This location contains the following waypoint:
Grand Mausoleum X: -173 Y: 80
Operating Theatre
On the ground floor, in the wide northern section of the building, is an operating theatre. Malus Thorm and his sisters are found performing an "operation" in the centre of this room.
Malus Thorm's office is the small room just north of the operating theatre. Inside is a Key and the book 
Surgery and Physiology: A Sharran's Primer, which can unlock important dialogue in your interaction with Malus.
Hospital Library
The hospital library comprises the top floor of the House of Healing. This can be be reached via the roof (by walking up the colossal roots). It's also possible to ascend the lift near the operating theatre, although this leads to a locked door. A Hospital Library Key can be found in a desk here, along with two locked (DC 10) gilded chests and some minor loot.
Additional minor loot can be found by exploring the surrounding rooftops.
Morgue
West of the main building is the entrance to the morgue, guarded by several shadow cursed creatures.
