Hoag Hospital
Hoag Hospital
Hoag was initially designated a Magnet hospital in 2005. Hospitals must reapply for Magnet recognition every four years based on adherence to Magnet concepts and demonstrated improvements in patient care and quality. Being recognized as a Magnet facility is a great achievement for Hoag as it continues to proudly belong to the Magnet community – a select group of 477 health care organizations out of nearly 6,000 U.S. health care organizations, and one of only 36 in California.
The Magnet Recognition Program was developed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to recognize health care organizations that provide nursing excellence, and is regarded as one of the top nursing designations in the country.
Recognizing quality patient care, nursing excellence, and innovations in professional nursing practice, the Magnet Recognition Program provides consumers with the ultimate benchmark to measure the quality of care that they can expect to receive.
Applicants undergo an extensive evaluation, and members who are awarded Magnet status must continue to maintain rigorous standards as part of their four-year designation. To reapply for and receive Magnet status for an additional four years is confirmation of the hospitals resolve to deliver the highest level of care in nursing today.
Hoag’s Magnet designation validates the outstanding nursing staff and care provided to our patients and community. This designation highlights Hoag as one of the best hospitals in the country, boasting an exceptional team of staff and physicians.

Company History
In 1950, the Hoag Family Foundation, established 10 years earlier by George Hoag, Sr. (an early partner in the J.C. Penney Company), his wife Grace and their son George Hoag II, learned of the hospital project and donated the funds needed to begin construction. With the support of the Hoag Family Foundation and the community, the hospital was completed in just two years and named Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian. When the hospital opened on September 15, 1952, there were 75 beds, 68 staff physicians and 60 employees.
The George Hoag Family Foundation and the Association of Presbyterian Members, represent the two founding organizations of the hospital and continue to provide leadership as corporate members of the Hoag corporation. These members annually elect the board of directors, including representatives from the Hoag community and medical staff, as well as the chief executive officer.
