CHA has submitted a letter to the administration highlighting the impact of H-1B Visa changes on the pediatric workforce.
On Nov. 25, 2025, CHA submitted a letter to the administration urging an exemption for health care-related professionals — including pediatric clinicians and biomedical researchers — from the new $100,000 H-1B visa fee and related restrictions.
The letter highlights the significant impact these changes would have on the pediatric workforce and underscores the essential role international professionals play in sustaining access to specialized pediatric care and research.
CHA is asking Congress to ensure policies provide clear cost information for families, reflect the unique nature of pediatric care, and avoid unnecessary administrative burden.
Children’s hospitals extend pediatric care close to home for patients and families.
Children’s health care operates under a different set of clinical, financial, and operational realities.
