Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage receives Magnet designation

Posted January 22, 2020 12:00 am

WINFIELD - Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital has received Magnet designation for a third time from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

The ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® identifies superior quality in nursing care and is the highest national honor for nursing practice. Currently, 502 hospitals - about 8% of U.S. health care organizations - have received Magnet Recognition. With this newest designation, CDH becomes one of only 141 hospitals to have received Magnet designation three times.

To achieve initial Magnet recognition, organizations must pass a process that demands widespread participation from leadership and staff. Health care organizations must reapply for Magnet recognition every four years based on adherence to Magnet concepts and demonstrated improvements in patient care and quality.

"Our repeated achievement of Magnet underscores the foundation of excellence and values that drive our entire staff to meet the needs of our patients, families and each other." said Vice President and Flinn Family Chief Nursing Executive Sue McCoy, DNP.
