Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award

Congress established the MBNQA in 1987 to recognize U.S. organizations for their achievements in quality and business performance and to raise awareness about the importance of quality and performance excellence as a competitive edge.  Winning organizations are considered world-class role models in their industry.  The U.S. Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Manages the Baldrige National Quality Program.

MHP congratulates SSM Health Care's achievement in obtaining the MBNQA for 2002.
