Houston Methodist received national Magnet recognition for nursing excellence at all seven of its acute care hospitals.
The recognition is awarded from the American Nurses Credentialing Center after a rigorous review process. Fewer than 10 percent of hospitals have earned the designation, according to a Nov. 22 Houston Methodist release shared with Becker's.
Houston Methodist The Woodlands is noted as achieving the recognition in record time, having been open for only five years.
Magnet-recognized hospitals have better patient outcomes and satisfaction scores, the release said.
