Magnet®
Magnet® recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) is one of the highest achievements an organization can obtain in professional nursing.
The Magnet Recognition Program® provides a roadmap to nursing excellence, which benefits the whole of an organization. To nurses, Magnet® recognition means education and development through every career stage, which leads to greater autonomy at the bedside. To patients, it means the very best care, delivered by nurses who are supported to be the very best that they can be.
The following nine UPMC hospitals have received Magnet® recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC):
UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh
UPMC Hamot
UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital
UPMC Passavant
UPMC Pinnacle Community Osteopathic
UPMC Pinnacle Harrisburg
UPMC Pinnacle West Shore
UPMC Shadyside
UPMC St. Margaret
Nursing Achievements
True to lifelong learning, our nurses prove their commitment to excellence in patient care by earning degrees and certifications. We share knowledge across the region, nation, and world through podium and poster presentations. UPMC nurses also show leadership as they hold offices in professional organizations and sit on boards at academic institutions. Some receive honors and awards. Others add to the nursing profession through evidence-based practice, research studies, and grants.
We are proud to celebrate our nurses’ achievements in 2020.
