A "Magnetic" Hospital


Next week is a very important week for Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth. We will be undergoing our Magnet Recognition Re-designation Survey beginning on Monday, June 29 and ending on Thursday, July 2nd. The Magnet Recognition Program® was developed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to recognize health care organizations that provide nursing excellence. Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth was the first Magnet designated hospital in Tarrant county, and is one of only 6% of all hospitals across the nation to achieve this recognition.
The re-designation process has been very thorough and lengthy, and has required widespread participation from our all of our health care professionals including nurses, chaplains, respiratory therapists, physicians, dietitians, transporters .... And now we will have the opportunity to demonstrate just how dynamic our team is. We will have 4 surveyors from the American Nurses Credentialing Center here observing our great work in action during our Magnet Re-designation Survey. Our teamwork is second to none, our commitment to excellence and to team building are apparent in everything we do. I am so honored to be part of this organization and am looking forward to this visit with great pride and admiration for the work you all do.
Join me in welcoming our surveyors and demonstrating to them just what a "Magnetic" hospital is all about!!!
