Assuming you want a race that boosts wisdom, what's left are Dwarf, Elf, Human, Deva, and the Shifters. Dwarves are excellent because of their minor action second wind, which basically gives you an extra 1/4th of your HP every encounter; elves are fast, but the dexterity boost is wasted here, and mobility isn't really a requirement; the human's major strength, the extra at-will, can be valuable, but given that you want a focused healing build, it's not really what we're looking for; Deva's make better invokers than clerics, and again, the intelligence boost is wasted; the Longtooth Shifter makes for an excellent balanced cleric, which can be a powerful healer as well - not exactly focused, though.I made an example of a level 6 Dwarf Healing Cleric who makes use of every good healer feat I could find.
