  • Innovation
  • Context of the project
  • Quality of construction materials
  • Interpretation of the design into the final project

The award ceremony was conducted at the City of Greeley's Sept. 6 City Council Meeting with Pamela Kurtz, NBCE Director of Administration, accepting the award on behalf of the NBCE.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success.
