UPMC St. Margaret celebrates as they become the first UPMC hospital in western Pennsylvania to achieve a third Magnet® designation.
Magnet®
Magnet® recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) is one of the highest achievements an organization can obtain in professional nursing.
The Magnet Recognition Program® provides a roadmap to nursing excellence, which benefits the whole of an organization. To nurses, Magnet Recognition means education and development through every career stage, which leads to greater autonomy at the bedside. To patients, it means the very best care, delivered by nurses who are supported to be the very best that they can be.
The following nine UPMC hospitals have received Magnet Recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC):
UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh
