Children's National Hospital Receives Magnet Redesignation

For the fourth time, the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) designated Children's National Hospital as a Magnet® hospital. The ANCC, a subsidiary of the American Nurses Association, recognizes hospitals that uphold the most rigorous standards of nursing excellence and patient care.

Magnet-recognized hospitals have some of the most advanced nursing practices in healthcare. Less than 10% of hospitals across the country have achieved Magnet status.

"Our nurses at Children's National continue to set the highest standards in care and compassion," said Michelle Riley-Brown, MHA, FACHE, president and CEO of Children's National. "Magnet recognition is the highest national honor for nursing excellence, and very few hospitals in the country have achieved it four times. I'm proud of the nursing leadership, teamwork and dedication that made this possible."

Generous support from our community empowers our nurses to deliver hope, healing and world-class care. Programs like the Conway Nursing Pathway Program allow Children’s National nurses to grow in their careers, thrive and ensure the best possible care for patients and their families.
