Welcome to the MARCO blog!

The purpose of MARCO is to promote good will and fellowship among amateur radio operators, worldwide, who are professionals in the healing arts, or who have an interest in the various medical, dental and allied fields which constitute the healing arts. On-the-air network operation is considered an integral part of MARCO activity, and is conducted for the purpose of discussing and exchanging medical and technical information, and, wherever possible, to be of public service by assisting medical emergencies and other priority traffic.

Over the years this general goal has been expanded to encourage MARCO members
to participate in appropriate ways in volunteer programs offering medical assistance or counsel. In 1990 the MARCO Board of Directors established and funded (through volunteer contributions by members) the Medical Resources Commission whose purpose is to encourage members' pursuit of such volunteer activities and also to initiate creative programs by which and through which members might serve, through MARCO's MediShare International program.
