Baptist Health Lexington receives Nurse Magnet status



Baptist Health Lexington has been awarded Magnet status designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.  This national award recognizes health care organizations that provide excellence in nursing services and practices.

The American Nurses Credentialing Center conducts an extensive on-site examination, evaluation, and review of each hospital that receives this award.  This designation recognizes that nurses who work at Baptist Health Lexington provide the highest quality care to their patients and families by exhibiting elevated nursing standards in their profession.

“This award affirms what our patients have told us for many years, that the care provided by our staff is excellent as well as compassionate,” said Karen S. Hill, RN. MSN, NEA-BC, Vice President/Nurse Executive at Baptist Health Lexington.

Baptist Health Lexington was the first non-teaching hospital in the state of Kentucky to receive this award.
