Magnet® Designation

The pre-eminent recognition for hospital systems in the United States.

Nursing Excellence

ChristianaCare recently earned its fourth consecutive Magnet® designation for nursing excellence. This makes ChristianaCare the first health care organization in Delaware to achieve this recognition four times. Magnet status is the highest honor in nursing practice, recognizing excellence and innovation in patient care, nurse engagement, and work culture.

Less than 10% of hospitals and health systems in the U.S. have Magnet status. For nurses, Magnet status means enhanced education, career development, and greater autonomy. For patients, it guarantees high-quality care delivered by empowered nurses. ChristianaCare employs over 4,000 nurses, the largest segment of its workforce.
