Thair Al-Saqri is the newest provider at Promise Healthcare-Frances Nelson
Thair Al-Saqri earned his bachelor’s degree in communication before completing both his Master of Science in Nursing and his Doctor of Nursing Practice at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC).
His clinical interests include family medicine and sports medicine, and he is passionate about caring for patients
across the lifespan. He is fluent in Arabic.
What drives Thair as a Nurse Practitioner is the opportunity to meet patients where they are and guide them toward better health. He values listening deeply, educating, and supporting individuals during moments when they may feel vulnerable or uncertain. Helping patients feel understood and empowered is the most meaningful part of his work.
Thair spent the past five years coaching boys’ and girls’ soccer at Centennial High School, and he remains committed to encouraging youth through sports and positive mentorship.
He is especially passionate about community programs and nonprofits that provide safe, supportive spaces for children.
Outside of work, Thair enjoys cheering on the Chicago Bears and Illini sports, coaching on the soccer field, and spending time with his wife and their twin daughters.
Thair has called Champaign home since 1994 and is proud to serve the community that helped shape him. His family has long been part of the local business community through owning their own restaurant, further strengthening his connection to the area.
He looks forward to giving back through compassionate and accessible care.
