Magnet and Pathway to Excellence Designation Journey for VHA Medical Centers

The Magnet Recognition Program®, and the related Pathway to Excellence® program refer to facilities demonstrating nursing excellence and innovation in practice and leadership, resulting in positive nurse satisfaction, low turnover and vacancies. These qualities when combined with collaborative interdisciplinary professional practice, promote excellence in health care delivery and enhancement of an organization’s overall health. This page is designed to offer guidance and resources for nurse leaders seeking Magnet® Designation. Current ANCC-designated VHA Magnet and Pathway facilities are listed below. Useful resources are also listed below to aid in navigating the Magnet® Journey. In addition to the current 5 designated Magnet® facilities, and one designated Pathway to Excellence® facilities, more than 20 additional facilities are in some phase of formal application and another 70 plus have adopted Magnet® principles.
