LCMC Health celebrated two hospitals, East Jefferson General Hospital (EJGH) and University Medical Center (UMC) New Orleans, receiving Beacon Award Designations from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) [5]. The Surgical Pulmonary Progressive Care Unit at EJGH received the Silver Beacon Award, the Cardiovascular Progressive Care Unit at EJGH received the Bronze Beacon Award, and the Burn Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at UMC New Orleans received the Silver Beacon Award [5]. These awards are significant because it is the first time since 2020 that any Louisiana hospital has been honored [5]. The AACN reviews units based on nursing workforce, work environment, and patient outcomes [5]. The Silver and Bronze Beacon Awards recognize nursing excellence and dedication to providing outstanding care in a patient-centered environment that fosters a positive workplace [5]. The Burn Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at University Medical Center (UMC) New Orleans was honored with a Silver Beacon Award designation. The diverse team brings a unique set of knowledge, skills and experience in managing the complex nature of burn injuries, which can require critical care, surgical reconstruction and rehabilitation [5].
