Industry Leadership

Emerald CEO, Mark Stagen, is chairman and founding member of the NATHO. The purpose of the National Association of Traveling Healthcare Organizations is to provide a forum for companies providing Travel Healthcare services. This forum helps sets ethical guidelines which provides the foundation of relationships between NATHO members and their clients. In addition, NATHO is committed to continuous educational programming that focuses on the exchange of ideas about the standards of the industry and changes in the Travel Healthcare marketplace, which affect NATHO members.  

 

NATHO further commits to a leadership role in the following areas:

  • Developing a positive image of the Travel Healthcare industry,
  • And a peer review process based on excellence, honesty, and fairness.

For the first time in history, business leaders in the Travel Healthcare industry have come together to form the National Association of Travel Healthcare Organizations (NATHO). As a professional association, NATHO was created to provide healthcare organizations with high standards of service and to represent the industry as a whole.

 

The organization primarily serves in these capacities:

  • To educate the healthcare industry on the benefits of Travel Healthcare staffing.
  • To establish a set of service standards among Travel Healthcare companies.
  • To share resources among member organizations.
  • Offer a formal dispute resolution process through an arbitration committee.
  • Aid all members in cultivating market growth.
  • NATHO members are held to a strict code of ethics that was developed specifically for the Travel Healthcare industry. It is important for Travel Healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities to keep this in mind when selecting a company to provide services
