Medwork Caribbean

What Medwork Caribbean does

Medwork Caribbean N.V. is a privately held occupational health services firm headquartered in Oranjestad, Aruba, founded in 2008 and operating across all five Dutch Caribbean islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Saba, Sint Eustatius, and Sint Maarten) with approximately 30 employees. The company provides B2B occupational health services to corporate employers across healthcare, hospitality, logistics, transport, and government sectors, delivering sick leave management, medical examinations (pre-employment, Preventive Medical Examinations, Electronic Preventive Medical Examinations), DOT-compliant drug and alcohol screening with Medical Review Officer verification, driving-licence and DIMAS examinations, workplace ergonomics assessments, Risk Inventory & Evaluation, training, and occupational health psychology. Only two licensed MROs operate in the Caribbean, giving Medwork a distinctive regulatory credential for drug testing. The company is led by CEO Jerry Staring, who succeeded founder Ru Croes on November 1, 2023, and maintains institutional relationships with government bodies including HAVA, SVB, and the Department of Public Health (DVG).

The technology backbone is a proprietary occupational health software stack centered on the SiLA Dashboard for sick leave analytics with department-level reporting and benchmarking, the E-PME digital questionnaire platform co-developed with Qualogy Caribbean that flags risk factors and delivers personalized employee advice, and the eScreener application aligned with Dutch RIVM guidelines for identifying vulnerable workers. Services are delivered through direct office presence on each island, with consultations by appointment and corporate-client registration required to access clinical services. The revenue model is professional services, billed based on time spent and costs incurred (pay-as-you-go) with terms of 15 days from invoice date; pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supported by a professional website, email inquiries, and training-based lead generation rather than channel partnerships.
