The annual award recognizes one or more CBOs that have made significant strides in partnering with health care entities to improve the quality of life for older adults and/or persons with disabilities. Awardees demonstrate the pursuit of bold, transformative initiatives designed to integrate health care and long-term services and supports.

Eligibility: Nominations from an array of community-based aging and disability organizations are encouraged. Eligible recipients include, but are not limited to, Area Agencies on Aging, Centers for Independent Living, faith-based organizations, and other community-based service providers. Organizations may self-nominate.
