Unless he has a criminal record, has previously been deported or overstayed in the U.S. and then returned this is a straightforward process of you petitioning for him and his processing overseas at the consulate in Ciudad Juarez.
If your husband is likely to be a public charge due to his medical needs, he can be denied a visa. He may consider humanitarian parole, where someone can prove to the satisfaction of DHS that he will not benefit as a public charge from subsidized or unpaid emergency medical care due to his weakening condition. Again, if you can find a hospital willing to cover the costs to treat him or verify that he can afford to pay all medical bills without it using public funds What is called a humanitarian parole request may be filed. However, many cannot prove that humanitarian parole is needed or possible without a hospital or wealthy sponsor's cooperation. Our office can help where there is financial support, but such efforts may not be possible. This is often true where you and your husband are economically challenged at this time.
It seems like your husband has been in the US before. I would like to know how many times, each time for how long and if he had a visa or not. If he has never been in the US, you may petition him and if you know the procedure, in about 12 months he will be here.
As a US citizen, you can file an immigrant visa petition for your husband, but without knowing more about his background I can't provide advice or a guess on whether or not he would ever receive an immigrant visa.
