Community Hospital is committed to the journey of becoming an AACN Magnet accredited hospital. This highest level of nursing accreditation has been linked to superior patient outcomes, supportive and innovative workplaces, empowered clinical staff and exceptional nursing practices.

The practice of nursing at Community Hospital is within a collaborative governance environment. In this environment, patient care decision-making by the practicing clinician, is encouraged, supported and promoted. The framework for collaborative governance is the Unit Based Practice Council model and the six Nurse Governing Councils. The Magnet Steering Council serves as an overseeing body for the Community Hospital Magnet journey.
