High Five for Magnet: Nursing Excellence in Action

We are excited to share a major milestone in our Magnet journey.

We’ve officially received notification from the American Nurses Credentialing Center that our Magnet document has been fully accepted with no deficiencies. This is a tremendous achievement and a reflection of the outstanding work happening across our organization.

The next step is the Magnet Site Visit, which is scheduled for Sept. 22 – 24.

During this visit, three Magnet Appraisers will be on-site to engage with teams across all the practice areas included in our document.

The purpose of this visit is to validate and celebrate the incredible work described in our written document.

The appraisers will connect with nurses and interprofessional team members across all roles and settings to hear their experiences and to see how we live out Magnet principles through our culture, outcomes, collaboration, and commitment to excellence in patient care.

You can explore our Magnet document and all the different topics and stories by visiting this webpage.
