What is Magnet^TM Designation?

The Magnet^TM Recognition Program was developed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to recognize health care organizations that provide quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice.

The nurses at DRH strive for a culture of excellence and consistently seek positive patient outcomes in a caring environment.  Higher expectations from informed health care consumers has driven DRH to go on the Magnet Journey to excellence to attain recognition for what we already do everyday.
