The top five applicants that meet eligibility criteria and organizational readiness, and demonstrate that they are willing and able to complete participation requirements are chosen. The selection process considers the organization’s leadership and their commitment to implementing best practices. 

 

With the support of the FORHP, the Center recognized Mee Memorial Healthcare System for this outstanding accomplishment and is looking forward to working with Mee Memorial Healthcare and its community surrounding King City, CA.
