This is Comer nursing care
At the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital, we strive to create a culture of nursing excellence. Our nurses work at the forefront of medicine — providing the best and most advanced care available. Our quality and patient safety outcomes are rigorously monitored to ensure our ability to deliver exceptional patient care. Nurses are an integral part of our acclaimed care teams and work side by side with internationally recognized physicians, scientists and other healthcare professionals.
Nursing excellence. It’s in our DNA.
Leaders

Magnet Redesignation
UChicago Medicine achieved renewed Magnet designation in 2022. As the highest possible organizational credential granted by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), Magnet Recognition is a testament to an institution’s continued dedication to high-quality nursing practice. Less than 10% of U.S. hospitals earn Magnet designation just one time and even fewer receive repeat designations.
The Magnet Recognition Program provides a roadmap to nursing excellence. For our nurses, Magnet Recognition reflects the increased autonomy, professional development opportunities and supportive, collaborative environment in which our nurses thrive and advance their careers. For our patients, Magnet Recognition gives them the confidence that our institution can provide higher-quality care, lower mortality rates and improved patient satisfaction.
