Proud to be Magnet® Recognized
Magnet® recognition is the gold standard of patient care and this designation reflects the continuous, superior care provided by our nurses. This designation is bestowed to healthcare organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovation in professional nursing practice.
Magnet® recognized hospitals meet a specific set of quality metrics that include: excellent patient outcomes, nursing involvement in making decisions regarding the delivery of patient care, innovative nursing practices, transformational leadership, and pursuing best practices within the healthcare industry. We are so proud to be a part of this elite group of hospitals.
