Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center achieves first Magnet® designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center!

It is with great pride and excitement that we announce Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center has officially achieved our first Magnet® designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)!

This prestigious recognition is a testament to the unwavering dedication, excellence, and compassion that each of you brings to our patients and to one another every single day.

Even more remarkable, we were awarded 8 Exemplars! Exemplars are special recognitions that highlight where nurses go above and beyond the Magnet standards. These Exemplars showcase practices that are truly exceptional and worthy of national recognition. They are considered Best Practices and will be presented in the Magnet Learning Community®, allowing other hospitals to learn from the outstanding work happening at Rancho.
