TGH first earned Magnet designation in 2005.

To be designated as a Magnet hospital, organizations must demonstrate excellence in nursing philosophy and practices, adherence to national standards for improving patient care, leadership and sensitivity to cultural and ethnic diversity.

“We believe Magnet designation enhances our ability to attract and retain experienced and talented nurses,” Deana Nelson, TGH’s COO, said. “This designation also reflects the high level of teamwork with our nurses, physicians and support staff.”

At Becker's 4th Annual CEO + CFO Roundtable, taking place November 2–5 in Chicago, more than 1,500 hospital and health system executives tackle decisions that determine whether organizations thrive or merely survive: protecting margins under cost pressure, choosing where to grow, renegotiating payer relationships, stabilizing the workforce and proving real ROI on technology.
