APG recently added new metrics to also assess organizations’ performance on the social determinants of health, value-based incentives, financial standards and post-hospital discharge follow-up

“We are honored to be named an Elite medical group by APG again,” said Dr. Derek Lanier, PMS national . “Especially during the pandemic, our patients and physicians can take comfort in knowing we are providing the best healthcare culture when it’s most needed.”
