Newport Redesignated a Magnet Hospital
(posted May 19, 2009)
Congratulations to Newport Hospital nurses for again achieving health care’s most coveted recognition. Newport Hospital learned today that it has been redesignated a Magnet hospital, by unanimous decision of the ANCC’s Commission on the Magnet Recognition Program.
Newport is one of only 2 percent of hospitals nationwide that have earned Magnet redesignation. It is the only hospital in Rhode Island and Massachusetts that holds both Magnet and Baby Friendly designations.
