House-healer as in possibly a healer of houses. tanru are kinda tricky - they don't tell you just what a "house type-of healer" is. Also, {sloplise} is perfectly good Lojban: the last component in a lujvo can use the gismu for a rafsi, and the old restraint on names having to end with a consonant is pretty much disregarded.

A tanru always is a type of the last word in it: a {zdani mikce} is a {mikce}, a {plise tricu} is a {tricu}. If you want hospital, {spita} works; if you want a house of healing, {le zdani be lo nu mikce}, and better and more concise would be {le velmikce zdani} or {le zdani be lo velmikce} - house of cures.

We aren't overly concerned about being super grammatically correct (hence Sloplise instead of Sloplis or Sloplises), but I'm curious if I got {zdani mikce} correct as a name for "house of healing"??These phrase type names/gismu always trip me up when it comes to ordering them.--
