Pennsylvania Hospital (PAH) achieved Magnet® status, the highest institutional honor awarded for nursing excellence, from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). PAH’s achievement was granted unanimously by the ANCC’s Commission on Magnet®.

Magnet® status is one of the highest achievements a hospital can obtain in professional nursing. Less than 7% of healthcare organizations in the United States have achieved the designation. All five Penn Medicine acute care facilities—PAH, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, Chester County Hospital and Lancaster General Health—are now among the 27 Magnet® hospitals in Pennsylvania.
