GWVH Receives National Quality Award in 2002!

We are pleased to announce that GWVH received the Step 2 Quality Award of the *American Health Care Association (AHCA) in 2002.

The AHCA Quality Award is an honor bestowed on AHCA-member facilities that demonstrate the application of quality improvement principles. The AHCA first recognized the Georgia War Veterans Home with their Step 1 award in 1998, but the honor of receiving a Step 2 award by the home in 2002 is truly a monumental achievement for quality.  First of all, Step 2 applicants are evaluated based on criteria adopted from the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA).   Secondly, the AHCA accepted only 17 Step 2 applications nationwide in 2002, and of those 17 applicants, only 5 received a Step 2 award. 

*The AHCA is a federation of state health organizations, together representing nearly 12,000 non-profit and for-profit assisted living, nursing facility, residential services for persons with mental retardation and developmental disabilities, and sub-acute care providers that care for more than one million elderly and disabled individuals nationally.
