In 2013, the hospital achieved Magnet designation for excellence in nursing services by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet Recognition Program, the highest award a hospital can receive for outstanding quality and excellence in nursing care. With rigorous attention to nursing excellence and quality patient outcomes, the hospital has maintained this prestigious designation since then.
