“Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care to our community and Magnet recognition helps to affirm that we are doing so,” said Mary Carrillo, Chief Nursing Officer of Memorial Hermann Southeast and Memorial Hermann Pearland Hospitals. “This honor is tangible evidence of our nurses’ commitment to providing the very best care to our patients on a daily basis. We have a tightknit team between our two campuses and we will continue to pursue and maintain Magnet recognition well into the future.”

The Magnet Model provides a framework for nursing practice, research, and measurement of outcomes. Through this framework, ANCC evaluates applicants across a number of components and dimensions to gauge an organization’s nursing excellence.
The foundation of this model comprises various elements deemed essential to delivering superior patient care. These include the quality of nursing leadership and coordination and collaboration across specialties, as well as processes for measuring and improving the quality and delivery of care.
