Nasco Healthcare Takes Medical Training with VR Technologies To The Next Level

Nasco Healthcare is excited to announce our new agreement with MVR Technologies Inc. for medical simulation training based on virtual reality technologies.

We would like to announce Hugo Azevedo (President, Nasco Healthcare) and Steve Cramer (Chief Financial Officer, Nasco Holdings) have each been appointed interim Co-CEOs of the Nasco Healthcare business.

Worldwide, there are almost 1.3 billion adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19, of which 42 million are in the U.S. They represent a specific group with distinct challenges. Understanding and preparing for these specific needs will allow healthcare workers across the globe help adolescents and teens in crises. And they are needing help. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says 16-18% of adolescents had 1 or more emergency department (ED) visits yearly. That’s at least 6.5 million ED visits every year in the U.S. alone. The numbers may vary from country to country, but the reality is the same – teens are in EDs in large numbers.

Over the past few years, the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) has been updating its standards and is now ready with new 2023 standards for nursing. But if the changes (to language used in class and the structure of exams) are to be carried forward more widely within the nursing community, they must be incorporated within the wider training strategy.

Effective immediately, we are pleased to announce the promotion of Hugo Azevedo to President of Nasco Healthcare. Hugo will be responsible for driving growth and supporting transformational initiatives globally.
