A list of those health grounds can be found in section 212(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Certain foreign nationals who are in the United States may file Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, to request employment authorization and an Employment Authorization Document (EAD).  Other foreign nationals whose immigration status authorizes them to work in the United States without restrictions may also use Form I-765 to apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for an EAD that shows such authorization.

Certain abused nonimmigrant spouses may use Form I-765V to request an employment authorization document (EAD).
