Quality Leadership Awards

Celebrating Our Members’ Efforts to Deliver High Quality Care

Every year at the CAPH/SNI Annual Conference, we showcase the most impressive initiatives that improve and advance high quality, equitable health care among our member systems with the Quality Leaders Awards (QLAs)

The QLAs are awarded across four categories including health equity, population health, care redesign and innovation.

The goals of the QLAs are to:

  • Showcase forward-thinking and innovative approaches in California’s public health care systems to address the health needs of the communities they serve
