About
Community of Excellence
The Need for Change...
The concept of COE 2026 was conceived in 2010 by two former healthcare CEOs whose organizations won the National Baldrige Quality Award under their leadership. They believed in the Baldrige Performance Excellence Framework; a systems-based approach built on principles of performance excellence that created significant and sustained improvements in performance, quality and cost in businesses and organizations worldwide. More specifically, they believed that the Baldrige Framework could be effective in uniting sectors and leaders across a community and ultimately produce positive and sustainable results to key areas of community performance such as educational attainment, economic vitality, health, and safety.
