Medical City Achieves Highest Honor in Nursing For Third Time

By Bradford Pearson |

Medical City has earned the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet recognition for a third time, becoming the first Dallas-Fort Worth area hospital to do so, the center announced Monday.

“We are just delighted and honored to be among the elite,” chief nursing officer Carol Gregory said in a statement. “We couldn’t ever have accomplished this if we didn’t have each and every one of us throughout the organization focused on quality care for our patients.”

Medical City first earned the award in 2003, becoming the first DFW-area hospital to do so. The Magnet Recognition Program for Nursing Excellence is based on quality indicators and nursing practice standards. Only 50 hospitals across the world have achieved the designation three times. Hospitals aspiring to Magnet recognition must meet 96 standards and undergo scrutiny of each aspect of a hospital’s nursing staff, procedures, and patient interactions. Centers must also be reevaluated every four years in order to retain the designation.
