The Ingram Institute for Physician Leadership continues this year with a full class, and spaces are already being filled for 2026. To keep pace with the momentum the Institute is experiencing, the Tennessee Foundation for Quality Patient Healthcare (TFQPH) has set an ambitious yet achievable goal of raising $100,000 in 2025 to sustain and expand these vital programs. To date, TFQPH has secured $65,000 in gifts for the year, with $35,000 left to raise to reach the goal.

You are invited to make a gift today in honor of Dr. John J. Ingram, the Institute’s namesake. Dr. Ingram was recently honored with the 2025 Outstanding Physician Award at TMA’s Annual Meeting. The award recognizes physicians who have made a lasting impact on the profession and their colleagues throughout their careers. Dr. Ingram is a deserving recipient as it was his vision for the Institute that prepared generations of physician leaders who improved healthcare and organized medicine in Tennessee.

Your collective support of TFQPH helps the Ingram Institute to continue developing strong physician leaders. Please consider making your gift by June 30, to ensure full funding as our 20th class begins. Thank you for honoring Dr. Ingram’s legacy with your gift.
