Challenges to today’s healthcare providers are complex and multifaceted. Hospitals and healthcare facilities must navigate burgeoning patient populations as aging Baby Boomers require increased medical care, in addition to stresses from economic and demographic shifts in their communities. All these issues are compounded by workforce shortages at every level – from nurses and clinicians to family practice physicians to skilled surgeons.
While hospitals and healthcare providers can hire foreign physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals to address workforce shortages and to improve healthcare delivery, healthcare immigration is not immune to the volatility of the today’s immigration landscape. As part of President Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American” initiative, work visa applications and green card petitions that were once seen as routine have undergone unprecedented scrutiny. Now, more than ever, hospitals and healthcare providers must have comprehensive immigration plans and protocol in place – not only to set themselves up for success, but to offer security and peace of mind to their valued team members.
