There was an issue rendering polygons that had healthcare tags but
didn't have amenity tags, which was a lot of them, especially given the
variety of healthcare tags that don't have an amenity equivalent. If you
want to get into the nitty-gritty:

Even with established healthcare=* tags, though, the question of
"another option between clinic and hospital" isn't exactly settled. For
instance, some mappers seem to think healthcare=centre fits in that
slot, but others use it for a large healthcare campus that contains
several hospitals.
