Why Stanford Nursing?
Join us in celebrating Stanford Health Care's journey toward its 5th Magnet Re-designation! Watch as our diverse and dedicated nurses share how exemplary nursing practice, a healthy work environment, and interprofessional collaboration elevate SHC’s culture of excellence.
Since 2007, Stanford Health Care has proudly held Magnet designation, a symbol of the highest nursing excellence in safety, quality, and patient satisfaction. As we prepare for our 5th Re-designation in 2025, this video showcases what makes Stanford Health Care ready for this prestigious milestone.
The Shared Leadership Council (SLC) at Stanford Health Care fosters excellence through evidence-based, interprofessional shared governance, empowering frontline clinicians in collaborative decision-making to drive patient care improvements and enhance professional practice.
With 53-unit councils and 10 ambulatory service line councils, SLC supports transformational leadership, professional growth, and succession planning, developing future nursing leaders.
Aligned with the ANCC Magnet® Model and Stanford’s Professional Practice Model (PPM), SLC integrates Jean Watson’s Caring Science theory, emphasizing compassion and holistic care through the 10 Caritas Processes®.
This integration reinforces SLC's commitment to evidence-based practice, equity, and the pursuit of optimal patient outcomes. SLC exemplifies how shared governance transforms healthcare culture by promoting staff engagement, job satisfaction, and a healthy, inclusive community.
