The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) has recognized St. Joseph Hospital as a winner of the prestigious Magnet award for nursing excellence. Only a handful of facilities across the country have designated Magnet status, a benchmark in quality of care. Magnet-designated healthcare organizations consistently outperform their peers in recruiting and retaining nurses, resulting in increased stability in patient care systems across the organization. Being a Magnet-designated hospital denotes formal recognition of the level of care and commitment our nurses have in caring for our patients.
