Our Story
Garnet Health Medical Center is at a critical crossroad in its journey to medical excellence.
Already providing a new state-of-the-art acute care facility, hospital leadership now begins its first expansion program. This initiative incorporates improvements in its outpatient services, integration of satellite oncology programs into a single location for diagnostic, treatment and support services and the expansion of sub-specialty care and academic medicine.
It is during this very time that the hospital has filed with confidence for Magnet Hospital Designation and Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award. The Magnet Recognition Program® recognizes healthcare organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice. Developed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), Magnet is the leading source of successful nursing practices and strategies worldwide. A newly released study* comparing 34 U.S. health care organizations that received the Baldrige National Quality Award with their 153 geographically closest competitors found that the Baldrige Award recipients matched or exceeded their competitors’ measures of health care quality and outperformed them in measures of favorable patient experience.
