Community Connection: Covenant Health | 4
We're proud to share that Covenant Medical Center has once again earned Magnet
Recognition Program® from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). ANCC
Magnet® is the highest and most prestigious international distinction that a healthcare
organization can receive for nursing. Magnet recognition distinguishes Covenant Health
from other hospitals in the areas of:
• Superior nursing processes that improve nurse satisfaction and retention.
• Unparalleled patient care with a direct link to positive patient outcomes
• The highest levels of safety and quality, resulting in satisfaction among nurses and
patients alike
Even more, this redesignation included five exemplars—specific areas where our teams
were recognized for going above and beyond national standards.
The five exemplars include:
• Falls with injury – Our focused prevention efforts are keeping patients safer.
• Burns in the surgery environment – Our safety practices are helping avoid rare but
serious surgical risks.
• Surgical errors – We were recognized for zero serious surgical mistakes.
• Hospital-acquired pressure injuries – Our care practices are reducing harm and
improving healing.
• Antibiotic stewardship – Our pharmacists and physicians are working together to
prevent antibiotic overuse.
Only about 9% of hospitals nationwide
earn Magnet recognition. Achieving this
status again—and with five exemplars—
is a reflection of our nurses, physicians,
and care teams working together with
excellence and purpose.
Thank you to our caregivers and support
staff who make this possible every day.
And thank you to our community for
trusting us with your care.
