We’re thrilled to announce that UK HealthCare and Eastern State Hospital have once again achieved Magnet status—the nation’s highest honor for nursing excellence, awarded unanimously by the ANCC - American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet Recognition Program!
This gold-standard recognition is held by fewer than 10% of hospitals nationwide and only seven in Kentucky. Magnet status is a testament to our dedicated nurses, providers and staff, whose compassion and commitment to outstanding patient care set us apart. Achieving Magnet means meeting rigorous standards, including a comprehensive review of patient outcomes and a multi-day site visit. Our team rose to the challenge and delivered excellence every step of the way.
Congratulations to everyone who made this achievement possible. Your hard work elevates care for our patients, while advancing the health of Kentucky!
