Harvard Pilgrim Health Care has named Sturdy Memorial Hospital Affiliated Physicians to its 10th Annual honor roll for the seventh consecutive year. 

Dr. Peter B. Johnson, an internist and medical director of Sturdy Memorial Associates, accepted the award on behalf of the physicians at a recent award ceremony.

They were recognized for achieving exceptional results in their approach to disease prevention and the treatment of acute and chronic illness in both adult and pediatric patients. They were one of 57 physician groups in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine to receive this honor.

Physician groups are selected for the honor roll based on clinical performance measures against national standards set by HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Date and Information Set), a tool developed for the National Committee for Quality Assurance to assess the clinical performance of doctors and other medical professionals.
