Magnet with Distinction: Top National Nursing Honor Earned
NorthBay Health, a leading healthcare system providing advanced and compassionate care to address critical, unmet healthcare needs throughout California’s North Bay, has been awarded their third Magnet designation and first Magnet with Distinction. This prestigious, national honor recognizes NorthBay’s elite level of performance and the quality patient care that nurses have provided patients through continued innovation and compassion.
Created in 2023, the Magnet with Distinction Recognition program commemorates top-tier health organizations that have achieved an unmatched level of nursing excellence while addressing emerging challenges and changes in health care. NorthBay has now joined only 11 other organizations who have achieved this pinnacle of nursing experience.
“I’m thrilled to announce that NorthBay once again has received our third Magnet designation – the highest national honor in the nursing profession,” said Heather Resseger, Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer at NorthBay Health. “This recognition is a true testament of the countless contributions our nurses make, but also the culture of excellence, camaraderie, and independence that is the hallmark of team and helps us deliver for our patients at every stage of their care.”
In their report on NorthBay, the American Nurses Credentialling Center highlighted NorthBay’s inclusive culture, family-oriented environment, and community-focused mentality. Other progressive initiatives that resulted in NorthBay’s recognition include early talent and recruitment efforts to foster the nursing pipeline and internal committees geared towards employees’ well-being, collaboration, and professional development.
