Combines award-winning virtual care technology with experienced virtual nurses to strengthen bedside teams, expand access, and ease workforce pressures

NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Collette Health, a two-time Best in KLAS winner for Virtual Sitting and Virtual Nursing, today announced a collaboration with VirtuAlly to help hospitals and health systems deploy and scale comprehensive virtual care programs.

Collette Health and VirtuAlly unite technology and clinical expertise to scale virtual care.

The collaboration pairs Collette Health's enterprise-grade virtual care platform with VirtuAlly's experienced virtual clinical team. Integrated into existing workflows, the combined solution helps health systems improve patient safety and outcomes, expand access to nursing expertise, and reduce the burden on bedside caregivers.

Health systems face persistent staffing shortages, rising patient acuity and growing demands on care teams. Through the Collette Health-VirtuAlly program, virtual nurses can provide real-time support with patient education, admissions, discharges, documentation and other tasks that often pull nurses away from direct patient care. This gives frontline nurses more time for hands-on care without adding on-site staff.

"Our mission has always been to improve the lives of patients, caregivers, and healthcare organizations through innovative virtual care," said Holly Miller, CEO of Collette Health. "One of the greatest challenges facing healthcare today is access to experienced nursing talent. This partnership takes that vision to the next level by pairing our Best in KLAS virtual care platform with VirtuAlly's exceptional team of experienced virtual nurses, giving hospitals a powerful, scalable model that improves patient outcomes and supports bedside caregivers."

Joseph Wechsler, CEO of VirtuAlly, added, "Hospitals need more than a monitor and a camera; they need experienced nursing judgment behind the technology. Our virtual nurses extend the bedside care team by supporting patient education, admissions, discharges, and other work that requires clinical expertise. Together, we're helping health systems build a stronger, more sustainable care model."
