Through its nationwide network of independent clinical professionals, Tempo delivers expertise in donor family support, clinical coordination, surgical recovery and preservation, referral response, remote operations, consulting, and other specialized workforce solutions tailored to the organ donation and transplantation community.
“Every organ donor represents a family making an extraordinary decision during one of life’s most difficult moments,” said Jason Vannatta, Chief Executive Officer of Tempo. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our travel partners and the trust our clients place in us to support that mission with professionalism, compassion, and clinical excellence.”
Organ donation is among healthcare’s most time-sensitive and complex processes, requiring seamless coordination between donor families, hospitals, OPOs, transplant centers, and surgical teams. Tempo was founded to ensure experienced professionals are available to integrate quickly into these environments, helping clients maintain continuity, quality, and operational resilience while honoring every donor’s legacy.
Behind that mission is a growing community of dedicated travel professionals who choose to serve wherever they are needed.
“Supporting our travel partners as they care for donor families, strengthen OPOs, and honor the gift of life has been the greatest privilege of this journey,” said Mandy Pugh, Chief Human Resources Officer of Tempo. “This recognition belongs to the donors, their families, and the frontline professionals who make that gift possible every day. We are simply honored to stand beside them.”
Tempo’s inclusion on the Inc. 5000 reflects the organization’s sustained growth, expanding partnerships throughout the organ donation and transplantation community, and increasing demand for specialized workforce solutions designed exclusively for this highly specialized field.
Since its founding, Tempo has expanded its footprint across numerous states while helping OPOs navigate workforce transitions, operational growth, and evolving clinical demands through flexible access to experienced professionals.
“From the beginning, we’ve stayed relentlessly focused on being a trusted partner, solving meaningful problems, and surrounding ourselves with exceptional people who believe in this mission,” said Andrew Vannatta, Chief Operating Officer of Tempo. “To see that commitment translate into this kind of growth is both humbling and rewarding. We share this recognition with our travel partners and clients who work tirelessly every day to make organ donation possible.”
