The American Medical Group Foundation (AMGF)
The American Medical Group Foundation (AMGF) is the philanthropic
arm of the American Medical Group Association. The Foundation’s
mission is predicated on the belief that the system in which care is
delivered does make a difference and is dedicated to demonstrating to
the industry that the total coordinated care model continues to
provide the highest quality, cost-effective, efficient care possible.
As a nonprofit 501(c) 3, its mission is to foster quality
improvement in group practice through education and research programs
in clinical quality, patient safety, service, operational efficiency
and innovation.
In 2005, the Foundation was revitalized and a renewed focus was
dedicated to expanding the diversity and breadth of its initiatives,
such as those highlighted below, that continue to define the frontiers
of quality care – clinically, technologically, organizationally,
systematically and ethically. Serving as the champion of
multispecialty groups, these programs are part of AMGF’s increasing
efforts to ensure the multispecialty’s group model of total
coordinated care remains the model of excellence and provides patients
with the high-quality, cost-effective care they so desperately need,
want and deserve.
