Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

We have a commitment to diversity and inclusion. People first. Always. This is our mantra at Nasco Healthcare. By showing respect and care towards our colleagues, suppliers, vendors and customers – we all succeed. Only by taking care of our people can our business move forward.

We believe that diversity brings unique perspectives and skills to the table, which ultimately drives innovation and benefits the frontline healthcare workers and community members we serve.

We are committed to making sure every employee feels comfortable to share their ideas and opinions and feel respected, valued and heard.

Our culture is one of openness, personal responsibility, continuous improvement, and respect.

We embrace differences for a better workplace and business.

Our History in Medical Simulation

In 1941, Nasco was started by Norman Eckley, an agricultural teacher who developed education tools to support his students from his farm.

Later in 1963, first responder Kevin Sweeney began making imitation wounds in his basement in Woodstock. He received a military contract to produce moulage kits and the company Simulaids® was born. From there, he quickly expanded the company’s portfolio to include CPR manikins and our flagship product, Rescue Randy.

In 1969, the Life/form® brand emerged with their plastic molding abilities to provide further training solutions like our CPR trainers which are aimed at better preparing the first responders to Be READY® in times of crisis. Nasco purchased both companies in 1999, and Nasco Healthcare was born. For over 80 years we have made medical simulation possible and accessible to all. We have been guided by our deep heritage in education, hand-made moulage wounds, rugged manikins for crisis training and advanced patient simulation scenarios that are based on real life.

Quality & Manufacturing

We are committed to good quality practices that exceed the demanding requirements of our customers. By controlling every step from design to delivery, we are able to provide over 4000 high-quality, innovative, globally-recognized products.

  1. Our products are made in world-class facilities, which enables us to maintain quality control at affordable prices.
  2. We design upgradeable products to suit your current and future needs – so you can have a Nasco Healthcare product for life.

And almost every Nasco Healthcare product comes with a 5-year warranty.
