Research shows Magnet hospitals have increased patient satisfaction, decreased length of hospitalizations, and lower mortality rates, and above average nurse-satisfaction and retention rates, Cook Children s said. This recognition is another example of the incredible culture of excellence at Cook Children s, Nancy Cychol, chief of hospital services and affiliate ventures at Cook Children s Medical Center, said. Our nurses go above and beyond every day to elevate the experience for our patients, families, and staff.
Only 8% of the approximately 6,000 hospitals in the U.S. are Magnet designated, and Cook Children s is the first freestanding children s hospital in North Texas to receive its fourth consecutive designation.
