Delnor receives Magnet designation for fourth time

GENEVA - Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva recently joined an elite group of hospitals in receiving Magnet designation for the fourth time. Only 51 hospitals in the country have earned the status four times. Awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, Magnet recognition is the gold standard for nursing. The program recognizes health care organizations for quality patient care, interprofessional collaborative practice and innovation in nursing. In 2004, Delnor was the first nonacademic facility in Illinois and the first Northwestern Medicine facility to receive Magnet designation. Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital also have received the recognition.
