The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the credentialing arm of the American Nurses Association (ANA), established the Magnet Recognition Program® in 1994 to recognize healthcare organizations that provide excellent nursing care. Receiving Magnet Designation® is the highest level of recognition the ANCC can extend to a health care organization. The rigourous process required to achieve Magnet Designation® provides a framework for nursing excellence and ensures the best outcomes for our patients.
Everyone at UCLA Health is a part of the Magnet® Journey, consistent with our vision of healing humankind, one patient at a time, by improving health, alleviating suffering, and delivering acts of kindness.
