DECEMBER 20, 2024 –CentraState Medical Center today announced they have achieved Magnet® redesignation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). This is the fifth consecutive time for CentraState Medical Center, which places them in an elite group of 1% of hospitals in the nation to have earned Magnet recognition five consecutive times.

This redesignation is a testament to the hospital’s continued dedication to high-quality nursing practice. The ANCC’s Magnet Recognition Program® distinguishes health care organizations that meet rigorous standards for nursing excellence. This credential is the highest national honor for professional nursing practice. Currently, fewer than 10% of U.S. hospitals have achieved Magnet recognition.

“Achieving a fifth consecutive Magnet designation is a tremendous honor and a testament to the extraordinary dedication of our nursing team at CentraState to provide the very best care to our patients,” said Thomas W. Scott, FACHE, FABC, president and CEO of CentraState Medical Center. “Our repeated achievement of this designation highlights our team’s continued pursuit of achieving the highest quality of nursing excellence.”

The Magnet designation is granted every four years to only those organizations that demonstrate sustained superiority in nursing care. Applicants undergo an extensive evaluation and members granted Magnet status must continue to meet rigorous standards.

CentraState, part of Atlantic Health System (AHS), issued an announcement with AHS’ Chilton Medical Center, which earned their second Magnet designation with Distinction. Read the full press release here.
