Of the 679 U.S. hospitals designated as “Magnet” hospitals for nursing excellence, about 5% have earned the recognition more than six times.
The American Nurses Credentialing Center awards Magnet recognition to hospitals based on their quality of patient care and nursing excellence. As of July 28, 36 hospitals have received six or more Magnet designations — representing just 0.6% of the nation’s 6,100 hospitals.
Since Dec. 31, 2025, four hospitals have earned their sixth Magnet designation: Englewood (N.J.) Hospital, Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, Penn Medicine Lancaster (Pa.) General Hospital and Houston Methodist Hospital.
