CARSON CITY, Nev., May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Carson Tahoe Health (CTH) joins the three percent of hospitals in the nation to have received Pathway to Excellence® designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

The Pathway designation is a global credential that highlights an organization's commitment to creating a healthy work environment where nurses feel empowered and valued. CTH nurses - from the urgent cares and medical group clinics to the Regional Medical Center and surgery rooms - are an integral part of the healthcare team. And at Carson Tahoe, they have a voice in the policy and practice decisions that influence their work.

"Pathway nurses are engaged, resulting in higher job satisfaction, reduced turnover, improved safety, and better patient outcomes," says Joanne Miller, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, Vice President & Chief Nursing Officer at CTH. "I am proud of each and every one of our staff who worked through a grueling pandemic, a major medical records transition, and a Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ) survey, to still put a priority on their commitment to excellence and on one another's well-being."
