Calendar honors MGH nursing Magnet status

The MGH has been honored for its 2003 designation as a Magnet nursing hospital with an appearance in the inaugural 2006 issue of the Magnet Recognition Program's annual calendar. Magnet recognition is given by the American Nurses Credentialing Center to hospitals based on their ability to attract and retain top-level nursing staff. The MGH — the first hospital in Massachusetts to receive nursing Magnet status — is recognized with a photograph for January featuring Katie Fallon, RN, of Ellison 20 and a recipient of the 2004 Thomas S. Durant, MD, Fellowship in Refugee Medicine (shown at left). To download the calendar, visit
