U.S. healthcare firm launches virtual nursing hub in the country
Manila Bulletin
|July 7, 2025
Medical Solutions and Worldwide HealthStaff Solutions, through its subsidiary Worldwide Resource Solutions (WWRS), has officially launched its first virtual nursing and remote patient sitting hub in the Philippines — a pioneering move that could reshape how care is delivered globally.
The new facility, located at the GBF Center in Bridgetowne, Quezon City, is the first of its kind outside the United States and marks a critical milestone in virtual healthcare delivery.
WWRS aims to address persistent clinical staffing shortages in U.S. hospitals by tapping into the Philippines' vast pool of healthcare talent. The Bridgetowne hub is WWRS' second site in the country but the first designed exclusively to offer 24/7 telehealth services, beginning with virtual patient sitting.
"Virtual sitting is already being done in the U.S. What's never been done before is delivering that service using staff halfway around the world," according to Ron Hoppe, Chief Executive Officer of Worldwide HealthStaff Solutions and President of WWRS.
