Magnet Recognition is not merely an award or a badge of honor. It is steadfast proof of a hardearned commitment to excellence in healthcare, with contented nurses at its heart. Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center was designated as a Magnet organization in 2008, 2012, 2017, and 2022 by the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® and is now applying for redesignation.
