Nursing awards and designations
Parkview Health – Magnet® recognized
Parkview Health and each of its hospitals are among the nation’s elite, recognized as Magnet® destinations by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program. This recognition identifies hospitals and health systems that meet and exceed demanding standards for nursing excellence. To achieve Magnet recognition, organizations must pass a rigorous and lengthy review process that demands widespread participation from care providers and co-workers at each hospital. The process includes an electronic application, written patient care documentation, on-site visits to each hospital and a review by the Commission on Magnet Recognition.
All nine of the Parkview Health hospitals that earned initial Magnet accreditation in 2017 have earned re-accreditation this year (2022). Those hospitals are:
- Parkview Huntington Hospital
- Parkview LaGrange Hospital
- Parkview Noble Hospital
- Parkview Ortho Hospital
- Parkview Regional Medical Center and Affiliates (which includes Parkview Regional Medical Center, Parkview Hospital Randallia and Parkview Behavioral Health Institute)
- Parkview Wabash Hospital
- Parkview Whitley Hospital
As the newest member of the health system, Parkview DeKalb Hospital will be eligible for Magnet recognition during the next accreditation cycle.
