Nov. 29, is “Giving Tuesday” – a global day of giving focused on the generosity of people and organizations and the power of philanthropy to create a better world. In this season of gratitude, everyone has something to give and every act of generosity counts.
UofL Health is a vital safety net and provides care to many of our region’s most vulnerable people. As a system, we also employ 13,000+ people and sometimes our dedicated health care workers need our support as well.
Show your support of UofL Health and health equity for Giving Tuesday with a gift today. Your generosity will directly impact those in our UofL Health family who are struggling – our NICU families, as they face tremendous medical and personal challenges; our patients who are experiencing barriers to care and needing support; and UofL Health employees faced with sudden emergencies and personal crises.
UofL Health – UofL Hospital Achieves Gold Standard of Nursing Excellence with Magnet® Recognition
UofL Health – UofL Hospital has achieved the highest national recognition awarded to a hospital for excellence in nursing. Magnet status is the gold standard, and a reflection of nursing professionalism, teamwork and superiority in patient care. The American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet Recognition Program® distinguishes organizations that meet rigorous standards for nursing excellence.
“Magnet recognition provides our community with the ultimate benchmark to measure the quality of patient care,” said Shari Kretzschmer, MBA, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, senior vice president and chief nursing officer of UofL Health. “Achieving Magnet recognition reinforces the culture of excellence that is a cornerstone of how we serve our community. It’s also tangible evidence of our nurses’ commitment to providing the very best care to our patients, of which we are extremely proud.”
