Mayo Clinic in Rochester Recognized for Nursing Excellence with Magnet® Redesignation

Nurses at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, once again earned Magnet recognition, making this their seventh designation and reaffirming more than 30 years of excellence in nursing. The American Nurses Credentialing Center's Magnet Recognition Program distinguishes healthcare organizations that meet rigorous standards for nursing excellence. This credential is the highest national honor for professional nursing practice.

"This recognition belongs to every nurse and care team member who lives our values each day," says Sherry Wolf, chief nursing officer, Mayo Clinic in Rochester. "Their compassion, collaboration and dedication make Mayo Clinic a place of hope and healing and reaffirm our place as a Category of One in delivering exceptional patient care." 

First recognized in 1994, Mayo Clinic in Rochester has sustained Magnet status, placing it among the top 1% of healthcare organizations worldwide to hold this honor for over three decades. This distinction reflects the enduring commitment, skill and compassion of its nursing teams. 

Magnet-designated organizations are distinguished by their collaborative culture, where nurses are essential partners in delivering the highest quality of care and driving continuous innovation in professional practice. These organizations also foster a positive environment for staff and contribute to shaping the future of the nursing profession.

The redesignation process occurs every four years and requires a comprehensive application and an on-site visit to demonstrate nursing excellence.
