This unit is proud to be part of a Magnet-recognized hospital, helping define a new standard of care for patients. 6E was recognized in Emory's 2023 re-designation as a Magnet Exemplar for supporting nurses' participation in interprofessional collaborative practices for daily in-person Interdisciplinary Rounds with the physician, social work, occupational/physical therapy, and nutrition.
