URL LINK :http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/4/prweb515872.htm

With expanding healthcare needs in the United States, VisionQwest expands and enhances their healthcare and corporate outsourcing services.

Glendale, CA (PRWEB) April 2, 2007 -- VisionQwest Resource Group, Inc. has transformed and refocused its core business strengths of outsourced healthcare services. Expansion plans are set for the United States, Asia and possibly Dubai. With the VisionQwest Healthcare Servcies division leading the expansion focus by being a complete clearing house for foreign nurses and providing skilled healthcare employees to skilled nursing facilities and medical institutions, the business has expanded with success. VisionQwest Resource Group, Inc. has also expanded the management and financial consulting division and plans are to add more services in the near future to compliment its core business of healthcare and corporate outsourcing.

VisionQwest provides full Registered Nursing services, hiring local US nurses or going abroad to hire foreign nurses. VisionQwest Healthcare Services provides a full outsourced healthcare clearing house program for nurses from foreign countries to work in the United States. For foreign nurses the company does all of the immigration legal paperwork, create a two year contract program where the medical facility and VQ Healthcare are their employers, and providing corporate housing for them to stay in. This is done so that VQ can monitor and maintain the foreign nurse for a period of two years under contract and that there are no breach of contract to cause the medical facility to lose a nurse. One of the biggest issues that hospitals and skilled nursing facilities have when petitioning and hiring nurses abroad is that they run and breach from their contracts once they reach the US and work for awhile. They are always tempted or given bad advice from friends and relatives to go to greener pastures. However, under the healthcare clearing house plan that VQ provides its clients they create a very strict and professional relationship with the nurse and the client, using every legal forum available so there is no breach of contract. Currently the firm has 58 facilities that it provides quality nursing services to throughout California.

With the nursing shortage in California and other parts of the United States, VQ Healthcare has offices in the Philippines to support the recruitment and direct hiring of nurses for its facilities in the United States. In June of 2007 VisionQwest will be in Dubai to open up offices to support ongoing hiring needs and healthcare consulting services. The biggest problem that the the healthcare industry is facing at the moment is immigration retrogression of foreign nurses from the Philippines, India, China and Mexico. The highest concern is the Philippines where there are qualified nursing graduates and experienced nurses that can not be petitioned to the United States because there are no visas available to give them. The company has worked closely with various law groups and members of the United States House of Representative and Senate to create new immigration visas. In November 2006 the 50,000 immigrant visas for healthcare professionals were exhausted and no new numbers have been issued by Congress through immigration reform. Reform will come and new visas will be given out, however the company does not know when that will happen. The company continues to recruit and find the right nurses to bring to the United States and are putting the immigration packages together so that when visas are created and approved by Congress the nurses are ready to go.

Then it opened a full call center that now employees a little over 20 call center agents working around the clock. The call center will expand in June, after completion of office construction, to a full staff of 50 call center agents with forecasted growth by the end of 2005 to 100 call center agents.

"Launched to Provide Better Customer Service To Mortgage Borrowers, June 16, 2006"

Contact: Michael L. Lodge, President & CEO
Phone: 818.804.5027 Ext 101

Glendale, CA - USA: VisionQwest Resource Group, Inc. (www.visionqwestinc.com), an outsourcing firm with corporate offices in Glendale, CA and outsourcing offices in Makati City, Philippines, announced this week that they have launched BestRates4U.com. The new web site is designed to first educate borrowers on the mortgage process and secondly provide a Customer Service Agent to help them through the process of filing out a 1003 HUD application form. Information buttons are provided to click on to read about how the loan process works, from start to finish. A full-length video is provided that the borrower can watch that explains the entire process and all the steps that are involved in doing their home loan. Education is the key at BestRates4u.com to make the borrower knowledgeable on what to expect.

The biggest and scary aspect of applying for a new loan, and in which very few on-line loan officers help their borrowers with, is filling out the application forms needed to apply for a new loan - the official 1003 HUD form. Once the borrower goes on-line at BestRates4U.com they have two options of filling out a "Quick Help" form or a "Full Mortgage Application". If they choose "Quick Help" they are able to ask for help from a BestRates4U.com Customer Service Agent who will call then and fill out the 1003 with them over the phone, making sure all details is covered. Once the 1003 form has been filled out and is complete, they will receive the 1003 form via a PDF printable file or an up-loadable Point file for their Loan Officer by e-mail. The 1003 form is available in PDF printable format or a file that a Loan Officer can upload into Point mortgage processing software. If they do not have a loan officer the BestRates4U.com will assign them a loan officer on their network. There is no charge to the borrower for the Customer Service Agent to help them through the process.

BestRates4U.com is not acting as a lender or a broker. The information provided by the borrower to BestRates4U is not an application for credit or a mortgage loan and the information will not be used to pre-qualify the borrower with any lender.

BestRates4U will not check the borrowers credit history, however a BestRates4U Customer Service Agent may call the borrower at their request and verify the information the borrower has provided to better help their Loan Officer or Loan Officers on our network.

If the borrower is contacted by a lender or broker within our network that lender or broker may provide a rate quote based on property location, credit score, loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, and other factors. BestRates4U does not distribute the products of all lenders or brokers in the marketplace and therefore cannot guarantee the lowest price or best terms available in the market. However, we can help the borrower understand the process and help them out with the beginning process of obtaining a home loan though a good organized 1003 loan application.
