Healthcare visa sponsors in Illinois: common questions
Which hospitals and healthcare employers in Illinois sponsor H-1B visas?
From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, the US Labor Department certified 1,521 H-1B applications for healthcare jobs in Illinois from 208 employers. The most came from Grandison Management, Inc. (845), OSF Healthcare System (63) and OSF Multi-Specialty Group (48).
What healthcare jobs are sponsored in Illinois?
Most applications there were for occupational therapists, physicians, physical therapists and certified nursing assistants, of 27 occupations in all (every one).
Do employers in Illinois sponsor green cards for healthcare workers?
Yes: 417 certified PERM green card applications from 62 employers, the most from United Methodist Homes & Services (198), Aperion Care Elgin, LLC (30) and Aperion Care Plum Grove (24). Among them 253 for certified nursing assistants and 49 for caregivers, which go through the EB-3 route because the H-1B needs a degree. Registered nurses and physical therapists are on Schedule A, so their green cards are filed with USCIS directly and rarely appear here.
Are there jobs open in Illinois that offer visa sponsorship?
60 open healthcare jobs in Illinois say in their own posting that they sponsor a visa, each quoting what it offers.
How current is this, and where does it come from?
From the Office of Foreign Labor Certification's disclosure files for 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, published 2026-08-07, by each application's worksite state. Only applications the Labor Department certified are counted, each read as an occupation by its own job title. CareJobs.Now rebuilds these figures each quarter the files are published.
