NCQA Wellness & Health Promotion Accreditation is a nationally recognized evaluation that purchasers and consumers can use to assess wellness and health promotion programs. The AWPR status is only granted to wellness and health promotion organizations that have submitted a specific number of results for NCQA's standardized Performance Measures. NCQA Wellness & Health Promotion Accreditation standards are purposely set high to encourage wellness and health promotion organizations to continually enhance their quality measures. No other comparable evaluation exists for wellness and health promotion programs.

"This prestigious recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality health and wellness programs available," said Gregg O. Lehman, CEO of HealthFitness. "Employers are raising their expectations for health and wellness programs. They want innovative and effective options with proven results. The AWPR status proves we can deliver these services."
According to the NCQA's Wellness and Health Promotion Report Card, there are fewer than 20 organizations that have earned accreditation, and fewer than ten that have earned the upgraded AWPR status. HealthFitness earned NCQA accreditation in 2009 and retains this status until 2012.
