The generosity of Hoag donors always makes a difference but, in 2020, the impact of your support left an undeniable imprint on both Hoag nurses and our community. Our nurses were there when we needed them most, serving with confidence and compassion on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19. You put your passion into action through your commitment to nursing excellence. We thank you for standing with us during such a difficult and unprecedented time.
Although we can’t be in person to celebrate at the annual Choose Nursing, Choose Hoag luncheon, we hope you enjoy exploring what we accomplished together in 2020.

Earlier this year, we were pleased to announce that, for the fourth time in a row, Hoag exceeded the lofty standard set to reach Magnet® status, with 83 percent of Hoag nurses now holding advanced degrees.
This prestigious designation is the greatest honor an organization can receive for professional nursing practice, and it serves as a testament to the generous support of our donors.
Less than eight percent of US hospitals obtain this recognition, and only three percent of those have achieved the distinction four times in a row.
“Your time and generosity have contributed immensely to Hoag’s nursing excellence, including our fourth Magnet designation. On behalf of Hoag nurses, thank you for your giving and for your service.”

At Hoag, we understand that only through continued education will nurses stay at the forefront of best practices and leading-edge therapies. Because of this, we recently renovated our Nursing Education and Innovation Center, which ensures our highly skilled and educated nurses receive the most advanced training.
Features:
- Enhanced simulation training and observation room
- Flexible and multipurpose classrooms
- Open work space and cafe
- Outdoor area where staff can recharge
While we eagerly await the day we can offer you an in-person tour, enjoy this virtual look at the Center made possible by your support.
We will continue to build on what we have accomplished together. Our goals are mile markers, not stopping points. Eighty percent is the minimum required to obtain Magnet Status and must be continuously maintained. Hoag’s need for highly educated nurses, including nurse practitioners and advanced practice nurses, will continue to grow as we expand our footprint in Orange County. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
