Congratulations are in order to SVMH, which was awarded Magnet recognition by the American Nurses Credentialing Center this month. The award is for meeting rigorous standards of nursing excellence and is given to only 8% of hospitals in the U.S. There are now 34 hospitals in California identified as Magnet hospitals. “Achieving Magnet recognition, especially in the face of COVID-19, is a testament to our staff and high standard,†SVMH President & CEO Pete Delgado said in a statement.
