Pathway to Excellence® Program

The Pathway to Excellence® Program recognizes the essential elements of an optimal nursing practice environment.

This recognition confirms to the public that nurses working in a Pathway to Excellence organization know that their efforts are supported and invite other nurses to come work with them. The Pathway to Excellence designation is based upon the confirmed presence in the facility of the guidelines known as "The Pathway to Excellence Standards". These Standards are integrated into operating policies, procedures, and management practices of all Pathway to Excellence healthcare organizations. Learn more about what it means to be a Pathway to Excellence organization by viewing our Program Overview page.
