MedPro Launches Initiative to Tackle Nursing Shortage in the U.S.

The U.S. healthcare system is facing a critical challenge with over one million nurses projected to be needed by 2030, leading to a significant workforce gap.

To address this pressing issue, MedPro Healthcare Staffing, a prominent provider of temporary and contract staffing solutions, has launched ‘MedPro for US.’ This initiative aims to connect healthcare facilities across the country with highly qualified, experienced nursing professionals.

MedPro’s approach not only facilitates a vital pipeline of nursing talent but also responds to the urgent demands of the healthcare industry.

The company specializes in recruiting seasoned nurses from English-speaking nations, including the Philippines, Kenya, and Jamaica. MedPro manages the entire process, which includes comprehensive screening, immigration assistance, and licensing, to ensure that these professionals are ready to fill the gaps in healthcare staffing effectively.

With a record of placing nurses in over eight thousand healthcare facilities, MedPro is committed to enhancing patient care and alleviating the burden on existing domestic healthcare workers.

Patty Jeffrey, Executive Vice President at MedPro Healthcare Staffing, emphasized the importance of this initiative by stating, “The nursing shortage is not just a statistic; it’s a challenge affecting patient care in every community.”

“With ‘MedPro for US,’ we are reaffirming our commitment to being a core part of the solution. This is about building a sustainable and ethical bridge between global talent and local need, ensuring facilities are staffed, and patients receive the uninterrupted, high-quality care they deserve.”

The support provided to MedPro nurses extends beyond their clinical skills. Nurses benefit from a network of guidance that includes an Employee Relations Manager and a Clinical Nurse Liaison, as well as 24/7 support teams. Additionally, MedPro offers tailored preparation through its proprietary education platform, University®, reinforcing the U.S. clinical and cultural standards necessary for effective patient care.

Jeffrey also noted, “Our nurses are enriching our hospital teams with varied perspectives and deep clinical expertise. These experienced professionals step in where they’re needed most, easing staffing gaps and improving patient outcomes.”

The ‘MedPro for US’ initiative is also launching a new digital platform. This platform will feature personal stories from nurses, resources for healthcare facilities managing staffing shortages, and insights into the benefits of international staffing.
