Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Medical Center has achieved its third consecutive Magnet® designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), a prestigious honor recognizing nursing excellence. LIJ joins 11 other hospitals within the Northwell system to also receive Magnet recognition as proof of its hard-earned commitment to excellence in health care.
Developed by the ANCC, the Magnet Recognition Program is the leading global benchmark for nursing practices and strategies. Research consistently demonstrates the benefits of Magnet status for health care organizations and the communities they serve, including:
- Improved patient experience: Magnet hospitals are known for providing superior patient care.
- Better patient outcomes: Evidence-based practices and collaborative approaches contribute to better health outcomes.
- Higher job satisfaction among nurses: Magnet designation fosters an environment where nurses feel supported and valued.
