Magnet Recognition

The American Nurses Credential Center (ANCC) designated Gillette as a Magnet™ organization in February 2008. The only national award that recognizes nurses as integral team members in influencing positive patient outcomes, Magnet hospitals must meet rigorous criteria related to quality of care, nursing excellence, and innovations in professional nursing practice.

Organizations achieve Magnet™ status through dedication to quality patient care, nursing excellence, and innovations in professional nursing practice. Our designation as a Magnet™ facility confirmed what we have long known: Nursing care at Gillette is truly excellent.
