Magnet Recognition
Following a multi-year journey, EvergreenHealth's nurses was recognized in March 2026 by the American Nurses Credentialing Center awarded our hospital-system Magnet designation. This is the highest national distinction for nursing excellence and reflects not only the incredible care our nursing staff delivers every day, but also our leaders' commitment to supporting our nurses and their careers.
Magnet recognition is confirmation that EvergreenHealth continuously achieves measurable, evidence-based, high-quality care.
Plus, our nurses are experts in the most advanced equipment and tools available, utilizing the Nursing Professional Practice Model to continuously optimize and deliver the best outcomes possible for everyone that walks through our doors.
EvergreenHealth's Nursing Professional Practice Model
The Nursing Professional Practice Model is built on three essentials, which build on each other. These essentials use EvergreenHealth values of Compassion, Collaboration, Accountability, Respect and Excellence to guide how we care for every individual seeking care.
- Compassion: Empathy, caring for mind, body and spirit, honoring the person, acts of comfort and kindness, seeking to understand.
- Collaboration: Recognition of other disciplines' duties as we work together as a team to achieve shared goals.
- Accountability: Responsibility for our actions and outcomes to improve the quality, safety and experience of all we encounter.
- Respect: Maintain healthy relationships through an appreciation of difference in cultural beliefs and values, while actively listening.
- Excellence: Pride and passion for lifelog learning and improvement, professionalism, embracing challenges with flexibility to accept and promote change while exceeding expectations through teamwork and innovation.
EvergreenHealth Nursing Professional Practice Model is built using Jean Watson's 10 innovative Carative Factors.
The essentials of the model are organized in 3 overlapping circles, each representing an important part of the care we provide while holding patients and families at its core.
Center Circle: EvergreenHealth's values guide our nurses' relationships with our patients and other care providers by demonstrating our five values.
Inner Circle: These items are based on Jean Watson's 10 Carative Factors, guiding our behaviors of putting care into action.
Outer Circle: This represents the key elements of the Nursing Professional Practice at all levels of nursing at EvergreenHealth. These include innovators in care, leadership, professional development and evidence-based practice, research and relationships. The three important relationships are with the self, the team and the patient and their family. A good relationship with the self leads to a good relationship with the team, which leads to synergy in the relationship with the patient and family.
