The Mount Sinai Hospital has received its third consecutive Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). In addition, Mount Sinai Queens received a first-time Magnet designation as well. Considered the gold standard, a Magnet designation is the highest recognition for nursing excellence. Less than eight percent of hospitals worldwide have received the designation.

“A decade ago, we were honored with our first Magnet program designation and the recent recognition is the culmination of our continued commitment to nursing excellence,” said Dr. Kenneth L. Davis, CEO and President, Mount Sinai Health System. “We are also extremely proud of our first-ever Magnet designation for Mount Sinai Queens. It signifies a culture of excellence that is central to how we serve our community.” Dr. David Reich, President and Chief Operating Officer, The Mount Sinai Hospital, said “this Magnet designation reflects the quality and superb outcomes of the nursing team at The Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai Queens. It reflects the commitment of every member of the hospital team who works to assure excellence in patient care.” Learn more
