Nursing excellence lives here
Eisenhower Health has an environment where compassionate care, diversity, and excellence are honored and rewarded. As the first hospital in the Coachella Valley to earn the Nursing Magnet designation, our dedication to quality nursing practice is evident. In fact, our Nurse residency program is sanctioned as a Practice Transition Accreditation Program® (PTAP) through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). The ANCC PTAP sets the global standard through accreditation for residency programs that transition RNs into new practice settings – and we are one of only seven percent of the nearly 6,000 hospitals in the nation to hold this designation.
“This organization is incredibly supportive of nursing and patient care.”
