St. Anthony Hospital awarded Pathway to Excellence designation

The American Nurses Credentialing Center has awarded the Pathway to Excellence designation to St. Anthony Hospital in Gig Harbor.

St. Anthony joins fewer than 150 health care organizations across the country who have earned this designation, which recognizes hospitals for creating positive practice environments where nurses excel. To qualify, hospitals must meet 12 practice standards essential to an ideal nursing practice environment. The standards focus on promoting a safe and healthy workplace, creating a collaborative atmosphere, and supporting nurses on the job.

Research shows that a workplace environment that engages and inspires nurses has a direct, positive impact on nurse satisfaction and retention, which enhances patient care and safety.

Congratulations, St. Anthony Hospital, on receiving this prestigious designation, and thank you for creating a supportive environment for nurses!
