We feel you. This is why we're building the kind of clinic we all deserve.
Frustrated with how hard and expensive it can be to access quality health care?




Wholistic approach.
We're here to change the way you experience health care.
Unparalleled access.
Relationship-driven.
Isn't it frustrating to repeat yourself everytime you see a different doctor?
At Pilgrim Health, you will see the same doctors for each consultation. We will take the time to get to know you not just as a patient, but as a human being.
We believe that having a strong doctor-patient relationship enhances the health care experience.
We don't just cure, we identify your goals and help you stay happy, healthy, and out of the hospital.
Our emphasis is on disease prevention and detecting diseases early so it is easier and less expensive to treat.
Expect to receive regular messages from us just to check in on how you are doing. :)
Enjoy unlimited virtual consultations with your trusted care team, 7 days a week.
No need to schedule appointments, go through unresponsive secretaries, or download any wonky apps.
You can reach your doctor directly via Facebook messenger, Viber, or even SMS.
Interested in our concept?
Pilgrim Health is a membership-based virtual primary care clinic.
The Current Health Care Model:


Low Frequency, High Intensity
You don't regularly see a doctor. You feel something once in a while, but you just ignore it and hope it will go away. You care about your health, but you're just too busy and seeing a doctor is too much of a hassle.
You only ever really get a check-up when you are really really sick and can't function anymore.
This is not good for your health and drives up health care costs.
The Pilgrim Health Care Model:


High Frequency, Low Intensity
Your doctor is always accessible to you, so you don't let things get worse before you see a doctor.
You talk to your doctor not just when you're really sick, but sometimes even just to get advice on how to improve your diet, or your sleep.
Because of this, you stay healthy and save on health care costs.
How does the membership work?
Step 1: Client sign-ups for a membership plan
Check out membership pricing here.
Step 2: Member orientation and onboarding
Members are oriented about foundational principles about health and well-being, and how to maximize the use of the service. Instructions are given on how they can message their dedicated care team, usually via SMS/Facebook or other messaging apps.
A member's journey to well-being starts with onboarding.
Step 3: Comprehensive Health Interview (CHI) and goal-setting
Member is assigned a primary doctor, who will be part of their care team throughout their membership. The CHI is a 30-60 minute holistic health interview, which kicks off the doctor-patient relationship.
At the end of this session, a baseline health assessment is conducted and initial goals are set.
Step 4: Active membership
Members have ongoing direct access to their dedicated care team for virtual consultations and health queries. We also proactively reach out to our members through regular health and wellness checks. This is our way of identifying health concerns early on.
Step 5: Annual health and utilization report
At the end of each calendar year, members are given a summary of their current health situation, along with doctor's recommendations.
Yearly comprehensive health interview and goal-setting
Unlimited virtual consultations
Access to dedicated care team via Facebook/Viber or other secure messaging apps
Chronic illness care management (for patients with hypertension, diabetes, asthma, etc.)
Regular health and wellness checks (focus is on disease prevention and early detection and treatment)
Referral and coordination with our specialist network, and your existing doctors
Inpatient navigation (for when you need to be admitted, we support you by making sense of what's happening in the hospital)
Annual health and utilization report
For P299/month, members enjoy the following benefits:

Hello there!
My name is Dr. TJ, and I am the founder of Pilgrim Health - a membership-based virtual clinic.
I am a medical doctor and health equity advocate, with more than 10 years of leadership experience in community medicine, public health, and social entrepreneurship.
In my practice, I have witnessed how broken the health care system is in the Philippines. Even after the passing of the Universal Health Care law in 2019, millions of Filipinos are still being left behind.
We need to do more - but not just more of the same. We need to find different ways of of financing and delivering health care services
If this resonates with you, let's journey together and co-create the kind of health care system that all Filipinos deserve.
