To help foster and reward quality improvement efforts and distinguished work in the medical group environment, AMGA has developed the following awards. Award winners are showcased at our national conferences, featured on our Web site, and written up in best practice compendiums.

Acclaim Award: Annually, the American Medical Group Foundation rewards physician-directed organizations that achieve exceptional results through quality and outcome improvement efforts. The Grand Prize Recipient will be presented with a $50,000 educational grant along with a crystal award designed by Steuben. Up to three honorees each will receive a $10,000 grant. In addition, a $20,000 grant may be awarded to a medical group not supported by an integrated delivery system or research foundation.

Medical Group Preeminence Award: AMGA presents this award annually to member groups physician-administrator leadership teams for exceptional leadership; innovation and vision; contributions to the advancement of quality; effective healthcare delivery practices and structure; and outstanding contributions to the local public community in which the medical group is located.

Distinguished Corporate Partner Award: AMGA presents this award annually to non-medical group organizations for providing excellent service and value to medical group practices. This year we chose to honor two organizations that have been distinguished and avid supporters of the association and its members-both are deserving of this award which demonstrates our appreciation of their continued support.
