English term or phrase: a healthcare professional

How should I translate "a healthcare professional" (other than doctor)? "En, som arbejder for sundhedsvæsenet" sounds too broad, and "sygeplejerske" might be too narrow. Thanks so much.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks so much for your time. The word "professionel" seemed a bit too anglosized for me, but I do see that it is used. :)

4 hrs confidence:

healthcare professional sygehjælper

Explanation:
In Gyldendal Medicinsk-Odontologisk dictionary, "healthcare assistant" is translated into "sygehjælper". Maybe, that translation could also be used for "healtcare professional"?

Notes to answerer

Asker: Yes, this is a traditional term. It probably fits perfectly, but it just reminds me too much of assisted living.
