Rare achievement among nursing programs recognizes excellence in an environment of dedicated compassionate care.
For the third consecutive time, University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) nursing has achieved a four-year Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Magnet is the gold standard in nursing, as only 8 percent of hospitals in the country have earned this recognition, and only 3 percent of hospitals in the country have achieved Magnet at least three times. This important and prestigious recognition positions UMMC nursing among the best in the nation and is a strong validation of the culture of nursing excellence at UMMC.
