Froedtert Hospital Earns Fourth National Recognition for Nursing Excellence
It is one of the highest levels of recognition a hospital or medical center can achieve. Froedtert Hospital has achieved its fourth Magnet designation for excellence in nursing services by the American Nurses Credential Center’s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program®.
The Magnet recognition is a tremendous achievement for Froedtert Hospital, but it doesn’t change who we are. It simply recognizes the excellent work our nurses do each day and reflects the commitment of our entire staff to serve as a team, providing the highest quality care possible for the people of our community.
The Magnet Recognition Program recognizes healthcare organizations that demonstrate excellence in nursing practice and adherence to national standards for the organization and delivery of nursing services. As a Magnet status hospital, Froedtert Hospital went through a rigorous evaluation that included extensive interviews and reviews of nursing services. Of the nearly 6,000 health care organizations in the U.S., just a small, and select, group achieve Magnet recognition.
ANCC is the largest and most prominent nursing credentialing organization in the United States. Froedtert Hospital's Magnet status is valid for four years. Froedtert Hospital first received this award in 2006, with redesignation in 2011 and 2016. We received our fourth Magnet designation in June 2021.
