What is Magnet and why is Magnet important?

  • ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® is the highest credential a healthcare organization can achieve. It acknowledges the invaluable contributions of nurses in all healthcare settings and among all populations around the world.
  • Magnet designation is an indication to patients and the public that these organizations have met the most stringent, evidence-based standards of nursing excellence in patient care delivery. It is a results-driven recognition that fosters nurse engagement, and the role nurses play as members of the interprofessional team to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
  • Loma Linda University Childrens Hospital was designated as a Magnet organization in 2020 by the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®.  This prestigious designation recognizes excellence in nursing services. In March 2025, Loma Linda University Childrens Hospital is applying for redesignation.
