The deadline to submit your Intent to Apply for the 2018 AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award application cycle is just one month away! If your center last received a Bronze or Silver Quality Award in 2015 and has not submitted an application meeting minimum requirements since then, this is your last year to submit an application at the next level.

By submitting your Intent to Apply payment before the November 9, 2017 deadline, you will save money on their overall application fee and receive weekly tips and other resources that support submitting a successful Quality Award application.

Reminders:

• All applicants should read the appropriate application packet in full before submitting an Intent to Apply payment. Application packets for all award levels can be found on the Quality Award website.
• Recipients of the Quality Award must comply with the recertification policy in order to maintain their active recipient status.

If you last received a quality award in 2015 and you do not submit an application this year, you will be considered a past recipient and have to resubmit at the Bronze level if your center chooses to participate again in the program.

If you would like to review your center’s award history or have any questions, please visit the Quality Award program website or email qualityaward@ahca.org.
