Congratulations to Arbor Heights Family Medicine for winning a NHN 2026 Outstanding Clinic Award.

Arbor Heights Family Medicine received the 2026 Outstanding Clinic Award for their strong commitment to delivering high-quality, value-based care through a consistent focus on data connectivity, risk capture and quality improvement. The team has worked closely with its EMR system to support effective data sharing, while providers have participated in lunch-and-learn sessions to strengthen their understanding of the role risk capture plays in value-based care. The clinic also consistently works its gap lists and submits medical records to help close care gaps and improve patient outcomes. This commitment to quality is reflected in the clinic’s 2025 performance, including an 85.47% cHCC recapture rate and an 82.18% Annual Wellness Visit completion rate, both placing Arbor Heights Family Medicine among the top five performers across the network and community clinics. Together, these efforts demonstrate the team’s ongoing dedication to quality and continuous improvement.

We are proud to have you a part of our network.

Ragweed is a major fall allergen and can release up to a billion grains of pollen from a single plant. This causes people to experience itchy eyes, a runny nose and sneezing.
