Note that this contest is separate and apart from our Center of Excellence Certification program in the way it is judged.

Winners will be announced in April, 2025. There will be a major press release and significant social media exposure that accompanies this contest each year.  Winning centers in the overall metrics categories receive cash reimbursements for celebrations for their centers, to recognize their achievement.
