The hospital is also the only facility in the region to receive the ANCC Magnet designation, which recognizes excellence in nursing. We are the only local health system named six times to U.S. News & World Report’s Best Regional Hospitals list, and we are recognized by CareChex as among the Top 10 percent of U.S. hospitals for medical excellence and patient safety in overall medical care.
