NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE MARIANJOY REHABILITATION HOSPITAL ACHIEVES 1ST MAGNET DESIGNATION

Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital received its first Magnet® designation for nursing excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) on October 21, 2024. This achievement serves as a testament to the hospital’s commitment to high-quality patient care, nursing practice and creating a supportive work environment.

A Standout Achievement
