History and Description:
Daniel T.Cloud Outstanding Practice Award

Over the past eleven years, The Arizona Partnership for Immunization (TAPI) and it's more than 500 supporters have worked together for the common goal of improving rates of immunization for infants in Arizona. The dedication of health-minded corporations, local and state government agencies, community groups, and individuals has proven invaluable as the goal of 90% immunization coverage for Arizona's 2 year-olds becomes a reality. It is this success that encouraged TAPI's Steering Committee to expand their mission.

As of January 1, 2001, TAPI became The Arizona Partnership for Immunization (TAPI), expanding it's mission to not only address immunization issues for children but for Arizonans of all ages. Not only was 2001 a new millennium and a new name for TAPI, but also a new award was introduced. This award, in honor of TAPI's Chairperson, Dr. Daniel T. Cloud, was introduced for practices or clinics reaching 90% immunization coverage levels for their 2-year old populations.

Any physician's office or clinic may be nominated for the Daniel T. Cloud Outstanding Practice Award. Each nominee is assigned an independent CASA assessment administered by the state of Arizona to validate 90% immunization coverage levels. Those practices receiving validation will be eligible for the award.

Nominations for the Daniel T. Cloud Outstanding Practice Award may be submitted throughout the year. Award winners will be presented with their awards at TAPI's Annual Award and Recognition Dinner in April of the current year.
