Magnet Designation

For the third consecutive time UMMC nursing has achieved a four-year Magnet® designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Magnet® is the gold standard in nursing, as only 8 percent of hospitals in the country have earned this recognition. Our pediatric nurses greatly contribute to this nursing success.
