Outstanding Nursing Care

A cornerstone of Stamford Hospital's excellent standard of patient care is our outstanding nursing staff. Whether in the ICU, cardiac care unit, the cathaterization lab or the operating room, our nurses are committed to providing patients with the best and most a compassionate care possible. Nursing at Stamford Hospital is guided by the Patient-Centered Care Model. This means that our nurse's focus on the patient's needs and concerns - as the patient defines them.

In August of 2005 Stamford Hospital was named a recipient of the Magnet™ Award of Excellence in Nursing Services by the American Nursing Credentialing Center (ANCC). This award represents the highest honor a hospital's nursing program can achieve. Fewer than 3% of the nation's hospitals qualify for Magnet™ designation. Stamford Hospital is the only hospital in Fairfield County to attain this status - and one of only three Magnet™ hospitals in the State of Connecticut.

The Magnet Recognition Program® recognizes healthcare organizations that demonstrate excellence in nursing philosophy and practice, adherence to national standards for improving patient care, leadership and sensitivity to cultural and ethnic diversity. Applicants undergo a rigorous evaluation process that includes extensive interviews and reviews of nursing services, clinical outcomes and patient care. Research shows there are clear benefits to hospitals awarded Magnet™ status and to the communities they serve.
