The Sisters Hospitaler is essentially non-militant version of the Sisters of Battle. According to James Swallow's work they do get basic battle training, but nothing too fancy; the Bolter Bitches get all the good guns, and that's how both branches seem to like it.
They usually travel to worlds that are in dire need for medical aid, and also tag along with their militant counterparts to dangerous warzones. Some lucky worlds have charity hospitals run by them (The Imperium can do charity? Amazing!).
They can be bad ass too if forced to be. Dark Heresy 2nd Edition has a story where a planet is overrun by Nurgle, with the local Hopitalors having to break their way out to report it, and it's up to an Inquisitor and his retinue to destroy the daemon prince at the core; a traitor guardsman who caused the mess when he prayed for salvation from a plague). The Hospitalers accompany and fight alongside them, with their faith providing a shield against the diseased air that would otherwise be an instant kill.
Sometimes a Sister Hospitaler is taken in to a Inquisitorial Acolyte team. They're excellent at torture and interrogation, as many are trained in medical knowledge of xenos as well. Most of them would still rather prefer healing other loyal servants of the Imperium. This gives them a duality of being like benevolent angels to Imperial servants but a fate worse than death to the Imperium's enemies.
