The pre-eminent recognition for hospital systems in the United States.
The Magnet® designation for nursing excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center is the pre-eminent recognition for hospital systems in the United States. Only 8 percent of the nation’s hospitals hold the prestigious Magnet designation. ChristianaCare was first in Delaware to achieve Magnet status in 2010, and is first in the state to be a three-time designee, demonstrating sustained excellence in nursing practice and adherence to national standards.
Christiana Care Health System was designated as a Magnet organization in 2010, 2015, and 2020 by the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® and they are now applying for redesignation.
We invite patients, family members, staff, and other interested parties to provide feedback via email or direct mail. For more information, please click here.
To honor nurses who bring their best each day, ChristianaCare’s Professional Nurse Council celebrated with the Excellence in Nursing awards at four campus-based ceremonies during Nurses Month in May. These nurses were nominated by their peers for extraordinary care and commitment to serving with love and excellence.
