Magnet Recognition Award

Scottsdale Healthcare earns prestigious Magnet status from ANCC

Magnet recognition, considered the gold standard in patient care, was granted to Scottsdale Healthcare Shea and Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn on Oct. 16, 2006.

The Magnet program recognizes healthcare organizations that provide the best in nursing care and support for professional nursing practice. Granted by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the designation provides consumers with the ultimate benchmark to measure the quality of care that they can expect to receive.

Hospitals must complete a rigorous documentation, on-site survey and interview process with ANCC appraisers to be considered for Magnet recognition. Reiley likened the Magnet application process to a two-year journey involving countless hours of hard work by the hospitals' staff members.

Scottsdale Healthcare Thompson Peak is designed to incorporate the same award-winning patient care practices. It will be included in Scottsdale Healthcare’s next Magnet survey.
