Our Story

Rise to Immunize® (RIZE) is AMGA Foundation’s third National Campaign and aims to empower AMGA medical groups and health systems to collectively administer 25 million vaccines by 2025. This four-year initiative focuses on increasing rates of four critical immunizations—pneumococcal, influenza, Td/Tdap, and zoster—among the adult population to decrease vaccine-preventable disease and death. In May 2023, the National Adult and Influenza Immunization Summit recognized AMGA's RIZE campaign as the National Winner of their 2023 "Influenza Season" Immunization Champion Award.

We have a strong track record of creating National Campaigns that empower AMGA members to improve the quality of care they deliver to their patients.

Our first National Campaign, Measure Up/Pressure Down®, mobilized nearly 150 medical groups and health systems across the nation to achieve the goal of having 80% of their patients with high blood pressure under control by 2016. Over the course of the three-year campaign, participating organizations improved hypertension detection or control for 542,069 patients.

Our second National Campaign, Together 2 Goal®, challenged over 150 medical groups and health systems nationwide to improve care for one million people living with type 2 diabetes. Over the course of the five-year campaign, participating organizations met and exceeded the campaign goal, achieving improved diabetes care for 1,082,000 people.

Additionally, we bring years of experience working with healthcare organizations to tackle adult immunization rates through our Best Practices Learning Collaboratives. Through the Collaboratives that focused on immunization, participating medical groups and health systems documented or administered over five million influenza or pneumococcal vaccines nationwide.
