Baptist
hospital is celebrating two years of being a "Magnet Hospital"
for excellence in nursing services, as recognized by the American Nurses
Credentialing Center, an arm of the American Nurses Association.
Baptist officials hung a huge banner at the
entrance to the hospital to mark the occasion. The Magnet program was
established in 1993, and when Baptist was tapped in 1998, it was only the
11th hospital in the nation to gain the designation. Magnet recognition
comes after a volunteer peer review appraisal of a hospital's nursing
services for validation of exceptional clinical outcomes and patient care.
The review also evaluates the management and organizational philosophy of
a hospital. (Photo by Ron Beasley)
