Hospital Accolades

Health Management's 105-bed Lake Norman Regional  Medical Center, located in   Mooresville, North  Carolina has achieved Magnet designation for excellence  in nursing services by the  American  Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet  Recognition Program. The Magnet   Recognition Program recognizes health  care organizations that demonstrate  excellence in nursing practice and  adherence to national standards for the  organization and delivery of  nursing services. Applicants undergo a rigorous evaluation that includes  extensive interviews and reviews of nursing services.

Research shows there are clear benefits to hospitals that are awarded Magnet status and to the communities they serve:

• Healthcare consumers have more confidence in the overall quality of a hospital if it has achieved the level of excellence established by the Magnet Recognition Program.
• Magnet designated facilities consistently outperform other facilities in recruiting and retaining nurses resulting in greater stability in patient care and patient satisfaction
• The high quality nursing, in turn, attracts high caliber physicians and specialists which benefits our entire facility and community
