About Us

The Texas Gulf Coast Association for Healthcare Quality (TGCAHQ) was organized in 1977 to promote educational activities for quality professionals in the southeast portion of Texas. The Association also has close ties to the Texas Association for Healthcare Quality and National Association for Healthcare Quality.

The mission of TGCAHQ is to provide education and networking opportunities to enhance healthcare professionals' capacity to improve quality in healthcare services. We do this by sponsoring educational offerings that focus on the processes of current healthcare delivery as well as new applications and theory. Our purpose is to develop and sustain quality improvement in all venues of healthcare and wellness activities.

Membership

Membership in TGCAHQ is open to professionals involved in the functions of healthcare quality management, performance improvement, risk and utilization management, outcomes assessment, and other related healthcare disciplines. Meetings are held to provide educational offerings and to conduct organizational business. Annual Spring Seminar provide comprehensive and contemporary continuing education. CNE contact hours are available where applicable at meetings and seminars.
