To enter the premises, one may step through the window of what appears to be a red-bricked, condemned department store called [[Purge and Dowse, Ltd]]. This acts as a magical gateway to the main building, much like the barrier at [[King's Cross Station]] to [[King's Cross Station|Platform ]].

The hospital is located where it is because no one could find a better place to house it. Everywhere in [[Diagon Alley]] was too small, so people came up with ideas to build it underground like the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]], but it was decided that underground was too unhealthy. Eventually, a normal [[Muggle]] building was purchased so that patients could come and go and fit in with the crowds.

Although the hospital is meant for the magical community, as with all other wizarding institutes, Muggles are admitted when they fall prey to magical attacks, such as two Muggles who lost their fingers to [[Willy Widdershins]]' [[biting doorknob]]s and must have [[Skele-Gro|their bones regrown]], or [[Herbert Chorley]] who had his mind addled from a poorly performed [[Imperius Curse]] and had to remain in the hospital to recuperate as well as to prevent him from posing a danger to anyone.

There is a strict guidelines of gifts that are allowed into the hospital, for the safety of the patients. As such, each and every one would be searched and inspected thoroughly and would be determined whether it is safe to be given.

St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries is a wizarding hospital located in London, England. It was founded by famous Healer Mungo Bonham in the 1600s.[1] The emblem of St Mungo's is a wand crossed with a bone. It is a huge hospital.

Hogwarts students that are injured at school are normally treated at the hospital wing by Madam Pomfrey, the school nurse, but some injuries are too major for her, so the students are sent to St Mungo's Hospital for better treatment.

It may be that the hospital serves the entire British wizarding population. It may also be the case that some charms have been placed upon it to be bigger on the inside than the outside, though a large enough department store could quite easily provide sufficient space as the wizarding population of Britain is small compared with the Muggle population of Britain.

Entering the Hospital

Mungo Bonham

Mungo Bonham, the founder of St Mungo's

To enter the premises, one may step through the window of what appears to be a red-bricked, condemned department store called Purge and Dowse, Ltd. This acts as a magical gateway to the main building, much like the barrier at King's Cross Station to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. The interior, on the other hand, looks exactly as a hospital should. One way one individual can enter the building is speaking to an apparently inanimate dummy in the department store.

The hospital is located where it is because no one could find a better place to house it. Everywhere in Diagon Alley was too small, so people came up with ideas to build it underground like the Ministry of Magic, but it was decided that underground was too unhealthy. Eventually, a normal Muggle building was purchased so that patients could come and go and fit in with the crowds.

Although the hospital is meant for the magical community, as with all other wizarding institutes, Muggles are admitted when they fall prey to magical attacks, such as two Muggles who lost their fingers to Willy Widdershins' biting doorknobs and must have their bones regrown, or Herbert Chorley who had his mind addled from a poorly performed Imperius Curse and had to remain in the hospital to recuperate as well as to prevent him from posing a danger to anyone.

There is a strict guidelines of gifts that are allowed into the hospital, for the safety of the patients. As such, each and every one would be searched and inspected thoroughly and would be determined whether it is safe to be given. This is shown when Miriam Strout neglected the rule and allowed a cutting of Devil's Snare, mistook it for Flitterbloom, into the ward, thus assassinating Broderick Bode.

Healers

Harry Potter: "Are they doctors?"
Ron Weasley: "Doctors? Those Muggle nutters who cut people up? Nah, they're Healers."
Harry Potter and Ron Weasley on Healers[src]

Medics at the hospital are known Healers or Mediwizards. Their uniform robes are lime green. Requirements to become a Healer include N.E.W.T.s of at least grade E (Exceeds Expectations) in the subjects of Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Herbology and Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Dilys Derwent was a St Mungo's Healer from 1722-1741. Afterwards, she became Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1741-1768. Another Healer at St Mungo's was a man named Lancelot.

Miriam Strout was a Healer around 1995. She was in charge of the Janus Thickey Ward, caring in a motherly fashion for the long-term residents there. However, she neglected the importance of the gift guidelines, thus allowing the Death Eaters to smuggle in a cleverly disguised Devil's Snare to assassinate patient Broderick Bode. Strout was suspended on pay as a result.
