American Nurses Credentialing Center Awards Cincinnati Children’s with their 4th Magnet Designation

Cincinnati Children’s earned Magnet® designation for a fourth consecutive time from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Only 10% of all United States hospitals are recognized with this achievement, and currently just 38 of them are pediatric facilities.

This is the second time Patient Services Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer Barb Tofani, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, has overseen a Magnet application cycle. She received the phone call from the Commission for the Magnet Recognition Program® alongside Patient Services vice presidents, assistant vice presidents and leaders of the Center for Professional Excellence. “This is such an exciting time for Cincinnati Children’s, and the recognition goes to everyone at Cincinnati Children’s, because it takes all of us giving our best every day to our patients and families,” Barb said.

This news arrived on the heels of our #1 ranking in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll for 2023-24 and being named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces in 2023 by Newsweek magazine.
