Named as the NCMGMA 2024 Practice of the Year

Receiving award from NCMGMA for practice of the year 2024

Digestive Health Specialists was named the 2024 Practice of the Year at the North Carolina Medical Group Management Association’s (NCMGMA) Fall Conference, held September 25-27, at the Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem, NC. NCMGMA’s Practice of the Year Award, sponsored by First Citizens Bank, annually recognizes a medical group practice that makes significant contributions to its community, patients, and staff; in the case of Digestive Health Specialists this was seen through community screenings and education, staff and patient philanthropic engagement, and fundraising.

According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths, and the fourth most common cancer diagnosed in the US. It is why Digestive Health Specialists strives to provide free screenings to the underserved community and reliable education about colon cancer, and the gold standard for screening modality. Additionally, in support of providing more screenings to Forsyth County and surrounding communities, they sponsor and fundraise for Get Your Rear in Gear, the largest fundraising event focused on colon cancer screenings and education.

A $3000 check was presented to Cancer Services as part of the Digestive Health Specialists’ Practice of the Year award presentation.

During the Fall Conference, over 190 attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors enjoyed continuing education led by presenters such as Tim Hebert, CEO and Founder of Dirigo; Laurie Baedke, Speaker, Author and Coach; Shane McKenzie, Executive Coach and business mentor; Javier Young, Principal-Cybersecurity, CLA, Dale R. Folwell, CPA, Treasurer, State of North Carolina; Todd Pittman, ACMPE Liaison for NC; Kristine Sims, Partner at Constangy Brooks, Smith and Prophete LLC, Donna Nicholson MBA, BSN, RN, CPCO and Jason Newton, Curi Advisory.
