Magnet® recognition
Magnet designation reflects an unwavering commitment to nursing excellence, exceptional patient care, and outstanding clinical outcomes.
Many of our remarkable nursing teams have received the highly sought-after American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet Recognition, as well as the highest level of recognition: Magnet With Distinction. We are part of an elite group of 10.1% of hospitals in the United States that hold a Magnet designation.
“Our goal is for Kaiser Permanente to be the number one place for nurses to practice and for patients to receive care,” said Toby Marsh, RN, chief nurse executive.
Magnet designation is based on ongoing performance improvement and a culture of excellence. Nurses help improve care by contributing to decisions and advancing nursing through innovation, research, and evidence-based practice.
