English definition WHO (OMS) says the following: Health workers are all people whose main activities are aimed at enhancing health. They include the people who provide health services -- such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians -- and management and support workers such as financial officers, cooks, drivers and cleaners. Worldwide, there are 59.8 million health workers. About two-thirds of them (39.5 million) provide health services; the other one-third (19.8 million) are management and support workers. Without them, prevention and treatment of disease and advances in health care cannot reach those in need. (No todos estos serian considerados "profesionales", pero el texto que estoy traduciendo tal vez no incluya e éstos.)

Destino de tu texto Hi Marjory!
Espero que estés bien. Tienes ya bastantes propuestas, y hasta ahora la que me convence por completo es la de sgmtrans, en particular si asumo que tu texto está destinado a lectores mexicanos. De no ser así, las otras opciones que proponen trabajador (la traducción literal) están bien en términos generales, en todo caso tú decidirás cuál te conviene más.
Que tengas buen domingo y termines pronto tu chamba
Muchos saludos, Adriana Martínez.
