City of Hope and its nursing team achieved Magnet recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
It is the comprehensive cancer center’s first Magnet recognition, considered the highest honor an organization can receive for quality nursing care and professionalism in nursing practice.
Only 9% of hospitals nationwide have earned Magnet recognition.
City of Hope also received six exemplars — or special recognitions — for having a highly educated nursing staff, as well for its performance in patient satisfaction and prevention of surgical harm.
“We are extremely proud of our nursing staff and all they do for the patients, families and communities we serve,” Robert Stone, president and CEO of City of Hope, said in a press release. “This is a tremendous honor for City of Hope, as it reflects the outstanding quality of care and teamwork across our entire clinical organization.”
Magnet designation is awarded to hospitals or medical centers that pass a rigorous process and provide evidence that demonstrates achievements with regard to patient care and outcomes.
Trained Magnet appraisers also conducted a virtual visit of City of Hope, touring more than 50 units or departments and listening to comments from more than 500 nurses and staff members.
“Our nurses, nursing leaders and the entire City of Hope organization have worked toward the goal of Magnet recognition for many years,” Susan J. Brown, PhD, RN, City of Hope’s chief nursing officer and senior vice president of patient care services, said in the release.. “They have earned this recognition, and I’m thrilled to see them recognized for their selfless efforts on behalf of our patients.”
