There are a multitude of careers that involve caring for patients or working within the healthcare environment. Finding the one that is right for you takes time: website research, networking/informational interviews with practitioners in the field, keeping abreast of local/national issues in healthcare, attending presentations, and lots of self-reflection. Consider what keeps you inspired to work hard, identify the skills you have and the ones you most enjoy using, reflect about your values, goals for work-life integration, financial considerations, and your readiness to commit to the prolonged training that will be required of your specific career of interest.
