A CoxHealth administrator was recognized with an annual award by the Missouri Association for Healthcare Quality.

Arlo Stallion, the Springfield health system's administrative director of quality, was presented the association's Missouri Quality Health Care Professional Award on Nov. 8 during the Missouri Hospital Association's 90th Annual Convention & Trade Show in Osage Beach, according to a news release.

The award is presented annually to recognize quality management professionals for their accomplishments and contributions.
