The annual award honors members across the nation that have demonstrated their commitment to improving quality of care for seniors and persons with disabilities.

Located at 2853 Forbes Drive, Montgomery Children’s Specialty Center will be presented with the 2024 Bronze Commitment to Quality Award at the AHCA/NCAL’s 75th National Quality Award Convention held October 6-9, 2024.

“We are proud to see these communities recognized for their unwavering commitment to residents,” said Joe Tutera, chief executive officer of Tutera Senior Living & Health Care. “I commend the staff at these communities for their hard work and dedication to our valued long-term residents.”

The Bronze Commitment to Quality Award is one of three progressive award levels through the National Quality Award Program, which AHCA/NCAL established in 1996. It is based on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which is also the foundation of the metric-based AHCA/NCAL Quality Initiative. The Baldrige program helps organizations in different business sectors improve and achieve performance excellence.

Bronze applicants must demonstrate their ability to implement a performance improvement system that improves health care outcomes. Trained examiners thoroughly review each application to determine if the center has met the demands of the criteria.
