What Is Magnet and Why Is Magnet Important?

ANCC Magnet Recognition Program is the highest credential a healthcare organization can achieve. It acknowledges the invaluable contributions of nurses in all healthcare settings and among all populations around the world. 

Magnet designation is an indication to patients and the public that these organizations have met the most stringent, evidence-based standards of nursing excellence in patient care delivery. It is a results-driven recognition that fosters nurse engagement, and the role nurses play as members of the interprofessional team to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

The Miriam Hospital was designated as a Magnet organization in 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2015, and 2020 by the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program. This prestigious designation recognizes excellence in nursing services. In October 2024, The Miriam Hospital is applying for re-designation.
