Healthcare Transformation Awards
In 2015, The Alliance® Board of Directors established the Healthcare Transformation Awards program to recognize people and/or organizations that demonstrated alignment with The Alliance’s mission of moving healthcare forward by controlling costs, improving quality, and engaging individuals in their health.
Over time, the awards have shifted to align with our High-Value Healthcare strategy and are announced yearly.
