'''The Infirmary''' is the medical facility of [[Redwall Abbey]]. Sick and wounded residents and visitors are usually taken to the Infirmary for the receipt of healthcare. The Infirmary is generally managed by a Sister or Brother with experience or knowledge in therapeutics. During [[Abbot Mortimer]]'s time, he led the Infirmary and treated patients himself.

The Infirmary is located on the same floor as [[The Dormitories|the dormitories]]. Its cupboards are filled with remedies, herbs, roots, and poultices prepared by the caretakers to assist with curing illnesses and healing injuries.

During [[General Ironbeak]]'s siege of Redwall, he and [[Ironbeak's flock|his army]] conquered the Infirmary briefly.

When Redwall was ravaged by [[Dryditch Fever]], the Infirmary became filled with so many patients and convalescents that it was expanded into the upper-gallery dormitory.

===Known Caretakers===
Redwall Abbey generally has a resident, usually a mouse, in the official position of Infirmary Keeper or Herbalist; if this is not the case, medical experts provide care to those who need it inside the Infirmary.
