I am making a character for a new campaign and would like to heal while being intelligence based, and not being a witch. Is there anything like that?
Alchemist with the infusion discovery that lets them share extracts?
Any wizard with Infernal Healing cures HP easily.
If high enough level, the wizard can summon critters to handle this.
Also, any character with a high UMD (perhaps via the trait that makes it an Int skill) can handle wands for this.

Or the healing bomb discovery (which also splash heals).
The White Mage arcanist archetype gets a limited ability to cast cure spells.
The Living Grimoire inquisitor is not a particularly good healer (spells function differently but are at normal inquisitor levels)

The post is too long for me to copy on my phone, but I have a detailed breakdown on the healing options for Occultists. The Reliquarian has a particularly large set of healing-related options.
The HHH Pact Wizard lets you grab a witch patron, so you could get the Healing one for access to the restoration line, and as mentioned pick up Infernal Healing for HP.

I'll put in +1 for Alchemist. I also like the Investigator for a slightly different feel (can't use healing bomb, but infusions are still great).
Alchemists/Investigators don't quite have the spontaneous conversion of a cleric, but Extracts (and Infusions) only have a 1 minute preparation time. This means any "Remove Blindness/Deafness/Curse/Poison/etc" Infusions are easy to make on the fly.

There's also the Thuvian Alchemist prestige class. As with most of these options, it's not as good as a divine healer but it does heal and can be any class that makes extracts or casts arcane spells.
If you are just interested in out-of-combat healing, there's several threads about maximizing the Treat Deadly Wounds aspect of the Heal skill. The Skill Unlock is central to making it work.

And as with most PrCs which advance spellcasting, it works better with a full caster (e.g. wizard) than a 6-level caster (e.g. alchemist).
The post is too long for me to copy on my phone, but I have a detailed breakdown on the healing options for Occultists. The Reliquarian has a particularly large set of healing-related options.

?
Thuvian alchemist advances spellcasting (or extracts) 1-for-1, so an alchemist with the Thuvian prestige class isn't getting extracts any later than if he was a straight alchemist.
Your bomb progression gets slowed a bit and your discovery options are limited. But you get new discovery options and some new abilities. It's not going to be for everyone, but this is one of the few prestige classes that isn't a definitive step back in pure optimization terms.

Speaking of arcanists, a Magaambyan initiate can cast healing spells from the druid list with the Halcyon Spell Lore archetype feature.

A wizard going into Thuvian Alchemist gets much the same; and +1 level of spellcasting/extracts means more to a wizard than an alchemist. It's not that it's impossible to make the PrC work for an alchemist, it's that a wizard (or sorcerer, or arcanist) does it better.
Also slowing bomb progression to 2/3 normal is only part of what an alchemist loses there. They also lose the ability to get bomb-related discoveries without paying more feats.

Gisher has it right on the break down. But how to put it all together?
I have made one recently, A Occultist Healer.
Base Occultist, get saints holy regalia Asap. It widens the amount of healing you can do. Then get Implement Mastery, with Curative and Restoration Mastery as Priorities. DO NOT get Flesh Mend Focus Power. Font of healing from the Regalia doesn’t synergize with it. Better off taking Curative Mastery instead. It’s better anyways as it provides more healing than Flesh Mend a day. At least not until later levels(beyond 10th level maybe).
My guy at 5th has a level of versatility to cure wounds, disease, poisons, ability damage, that I didn’t expect an Occultist to have.
You lack ranged Healing, but that’s why I VMC’d Life Oracle. Also buying into Reach Rods will help in that regard. Taking the feat later on will help for sure. So I took the magic Trait Magical Lineage for CMW.

Good suggestions!
Spell Sages can cast healing spells but I wouldn't consider them a primary healer.
Well so can questioner investigator archtype investigators get all the bard spell list as an investigator.
There is unlettered alchemist but that is witch spell list on an alchemist chasis do not sure if this is what the OP wanted.

Similarly the Puppetmaster Magus gets access to the Bard spell list (as well as the Magus list), and the Cabalist Vigilante uses the Witch list (up to 6th level).
