Kudos to Formendacil as this is no doubt the correct interpretation. It's a puzzle that had bothered me also, because Aragorn couldn't have merely been referring to those with the ability to heal. Glorfindel, at least (Book I Chapter XII), had healing power as well. So yes, it is likely that Aragorn is referring to the descendants of Luthien when he says that. And she was obviously a great healer...
