Joining together WHAT IS NATHO? Education • Promote benefits of travel healthcare staffing to healthcare industry at large '= liTHO ~ NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF Please elaborate on howand why NATHO is being founded. Cynthia Kinna' (CK): Ours is one of the very few industries that did not have its own association . So I think there was ju st a crying need for it. In the past, company leader s could only connect and com m unicate at industry fun ctions. We wanted to find a way to keep our di scu ssions going, to have a forum to address issues and to collectivel y publish some standards, and rai se the level of quality in our industry. At last year 's Healthcare Staffing Summit, Don DeCamp, COO of C HG Healthcare Service s, brought up his successes with NALTO, the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations. and Mark Stagen , with Emerald Health Services, took the ball and ran with it. He set up a draft website for NAT HO and called myself and some of the other executives and invited us to be part of the Advisory Group Committee.
