Company Profile
NATCO
Company Overview
NATCO is dedicated to advancing education, promoting certifications, and furthering the professional development of donation and transplant professionals in the community, to empower each individual to reach his or her highest potential.
Company History
During the late 1970’s, prior to the official forming of NATCO in 1979, early practitioners in the field came together to help define the role of the coordinator in the donation and transplantation process. The first gathering of professionals took place in Los Angeles in 1975, marking the numbering of our current annual meetings.
As coordinators continued to network, learn from one another, and develop their profession, they developed training courses for new practitioners. This tradition continues today with a modern and updated version of the Introductory Course being offered each year. Over the years our education and training has expanded to focus on all aspects of the professional development of our members. In 2025 we are proud to celebrate our 50th Anniversary!
