Recognition
U.S. News & World Report consistently names Cleveland Clinic one of the nation’s best hospitals in its annual "America’s Best Hospitals" survey. In 2007, the Clinic was ranked among America's Top Hospitals overall and our Heart Center was once again ranked best in the nation. Cleveland Clinic also was recognized as one of the top hospitals in all 17 specialties surveyed by the magazine.
In June, 2003, the American Nurses Credentialing Committee (ANC) – an arm of the American Nurses Association and the nation's largest nursing accrediting and credentialing organization – awarded Magnet status to Cleveland Clinic's nursing staff. To become a Magnet hospital, nursing services must pass a rigorous review administered by the ANCC. A hospital must successfully meet or exceed expectations in 14 categories of care and performance criteria.
Cleveland Clinic is the only hospital in the greater Cleveland area and the second hospital in Ohio to be recognized. Just one percent of the nation's more than 6,000 hospitals have earned the distinction of ANCC Magnet status.
Cleveland Clinic also has been named one of the nation’s best hospitals in the HCIA-Sachs annual Top 100 Hospitals study of medical and operational excellence.
