I try to keep dwarves out of the hospital if I can-- sick dwarves wit open wounds aren't something that should make contact with said filth.
Dwarf Fortress: The game where hospitals are more deadly than goblins.
I personally run waterfalls through my wells, and my cistern constantly drains off the map. This gives an additional happy though to dwarfs who try to bathe, and is in general a good thing to have.
I keep the well slightly outside the hospital, to provide easy access without tracking the filth in. The hallway outside the hospital should ideally be occasionally flooded to sweep filth off the map.

I find pressurized water behind a floodgate works well for filth removal. I don't really have problems with water running aboot.

Well done OP, you've inadvertently weaponized ghosts.

Putting a waterfall through a well is actually pretty clever. My next fortress will be ridiculously clean.

Never had a bat massacre people with an axe before.
EDIT2: Oh god, the bat has got a title now.
