Designations
Magnet
The Seton Family of Hospitals is the only
healthcare network in Central Texas with
Magnet® hospitals, the highest mark of
nursing excellence. In 2008, Dell Children’s
Medical Center of Central Texas and Seton
Medical Center Austin received Magnet
re-designation from the American Nurses
Credentialing Center, a subsidiary of the
American Nurses Association. They join Seton
Northwest and University Medical Center
Brackenridge, which were re-designated

Magnet designation is associated with continuous dialogue, motivation, commitment and innovation from all levels of nursing – especially staff nurses whose contributions to professional nursing are at the core of an organization’s excellence. Magnet organizations are known for having strong collaborative interdisciplinary teams as well as excellent patient outcomes.

The Seton Family also includes three Pathway
to Excellence™ hospitals – Seton Highland
Lakes, Seton Southwest and Seton Edgar

Formerly known as “Texas Nurse Friendly,” the Pathway to Excellence designation is awarded by the ANCC to organizations that are committed to nurses and value their contributions as patient care partners.
