Last Chance: Submit Your 2026 Quality Award Intent to Apply by TOMORROW

This is your last chance to submit your Intent to Apply (ITA) for the 2026 AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program. 

All ITAs must be submitted through the Quality Award Portal no later than Thursday, November 13, 2025, at 8 PM ET. 

While the ITA is not mandatory, submitting one provides important benefits:

  • Discounted application fee 
  • Exclusive resources and guidance to support your application, including webinars, best practices, and reminders 

The Quality Award Program offers more than recognition—it provides a framework for continuous improvement and a team-building opportunity that engages staff across all levels of your organization. Plus, 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the program, making it a milestone year in the Quality Award journey!

If you haven’t already, make sure your organization is part of this historic year.

Submit your intent to apply today.
