The American Medical Group Association (AMGA) announced today that it will present the AMGA Distinguished Corporate Partner Award on March 10 to Abbott Laboratories at its 2012 Annual Conference, March 8-10 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. The AMGA Distinguished Corporate Partner Award is presented annually to a non-medical group organization for providing excellent service and value to medical groups and their patients.
Abbott Laboratories has been a member of the Chairman's Circle, the highest level of involvement in AMGA's Corporate Partner program since 2010 and a member of the program since 2005. Over the years, it has been a strong supporter of the association's Annual Conference, Institute for Quality Leadership, and regional meetings. In 2011 Abbott co-sponsored all of AMGA's regional meetings. Abbott was also a sponsor of the AMGA ACO Initiative. This award represents AMGA's appreciation of Abbott's continued support and the valuable resources it offers AMGA members.
"The American Medical Group Association applauds Abbott Laboratories for its unwavering dedication to healthcare professionals and the practice of quality medicine in this country and worldwide," said Donald W. Fisher, Ph.D., CAE, AMGA's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Their support has enabled us to provide invaluable resources and educational and networking forums for healthcare professionals. We look forward to their future contributions to the work of AMGA members as they quest to improve the delivery of quality patient care."
