Nurses Who Go Beyond

What does Magnet nursing mean for you?

Everybody knows how important nurses are. And at Lehigh Valley Hospital, they’re even more important, because we’re a Magnet hospital that attracts the nation’s best nurses to care for you. Magnet helps you find nurses who have earned the seal of approval for quality care.

Our nurses go beyond caring to become healers.In a Magnet hospital, nurses spend more time with their patients rather than paperwork. You’re likely to get out of the hospital sooner and have better health results.

Our nurses go beyond tasks and use judgment. If they see a better way to care for you, they have the power to make changes.

Our nurses go beyond to set higher standards. They regularly conduct research to determine new ways to improve your care.

Our nurses go beyond the ordinary to become truly exceptional. The American Nurses Credentialing Center has such stringent standards, only 4% of hospitals nationwide have been designated Magnet.

Our nurses keep getting better.As the only Magnet hospital in our region, Lehigh Valley Hospital proudly congratulates our nurses on their recent redesignation as Magnet. Through a rigorous application and inspection, they’ve proved their care keeps getting better and have earned once again this highest nursing honor.

They’re the reason a Magnet for nurses is a Magnet for you.
