Get a little more specific on what you mean by working in the healthcare field, are you a doctor? Nurse? Scientist? R&D focused? This can have a dramatic impact on what city makes sense career wise.
Going solely be weather, scenery and general culture I’d pick SoCal. LA is also a much larger region but that doesn’t always mean better opportunities as competition in big cities is obviously fierce.
Healthcare Administration to be specific, and budget under 1600 for a 1BR
Harder to get coastal rentals in Socal with budget but not impossible. If you want to pay that or less then you head more inland where it gets less. Places like eastern San Gabriel Valley or Inland Empire like San Bern/Riverside counties where much of the new explosive growth is happening. House buying is much cheaper inland. Because the IE expects to add millions over the next few decades the area is bulding not just homes but everything from shops, schools, fire/police stations, and new hospitals. I think inland SD is building more, too but not entirely sure of that part of CA.

I would say realistically for Healthcare Admin, Chicago's a great place to be. One bedrooms can be found for under that price, plus there's a huge health care sector. AMA, American Hospital Association, ACGME, ADA, plus others are all located right here. Plus a lot of hospitals and health systems.
And yeah the winter sucks, but everybody understands that and when you take a week off of work in January to fly to Mia or SoCal for vacay to get out of the winter they get it. And then when you're actually in Mia or SoCal you're actually enjoying the time there, and if you get stuck in traffic for 15 extra minutes you're not the one freaking out about it--you're just chillin and jamming to tunes for 15 more minutes on the way to the beach.
I would look at Southern California but that area of work may be hard to break into. I live in SD and have lived in FL. Would NEVER Move back to Florida. Have a job lined up before you move and if you live coastal, you may be better with roommates than a 1 bedroom apartment.
