Magnet organizations are recognized for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional practice. As HMSL continues on the Journey to Magnet Excellence®, stop and reflect on how you contribute to quality patient care. Whether you are serving food, cleaning a room, delivering a baby, providing physical therapy, running labs, assisting with surgery, admitting a patient from the emergency department or caring for a dying patient, we all contribute to quality patient care. Our patients and families count on us to do our best, day in and day out. Doing our best also means thinking innovatively to lead and provide evidence-based care. Magnet is for all of us because it represents excellence in every facet of our organization. I’m excited to be on this journey with each of you.
