help with wording

[Elodie]

Hi,
I'm working on my first novel and I'm not an English native so I have a little issue with a specific word. My book is about people who are provided a cure for their illnesses from an institution and I need an "umbrella term" for them. I can't call them "patients" in my case because I need something more fictional that makes them different from the rest of the "normal population". I've already considered "patients" but it seems not specific enough.
For now, I called them simply "Receivers" in lack of a better term but if you have suggestions I'd be glad to hear them!

I see one issue with Receivers. The first thing I thought of The Giver when I read it.I do like it, but I don't know if you want to be compared to The Giver. One thing that I always think sounds cool and is really to do is translated a basic word into Latin. It makes it seem like you have this great invented thing when it's actually a basic, everyday word.

Receivers becomes Recipere.
