In 2004, Cedars-Sinai was re-awarded the Magnet Excellence in Nursing designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) . Cedars-Sinai is one of only 11 organizations in the state to achieve this status, which recognizes commitment to nursing development and quality care.

In 2000, Cedars-Sinai became the first medical center in Southern California to receive the Magnet designation. The ANCC found that Cedars-Sinai's nursing services "represent the highest standards in the nation and internationally."
