Watertown, MA, January 01, 2026 – In 2022, the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) unveiled the Magnet with Distinction program to recognize the world’s highest performing Magnet organizations. Since the programs launch 58 U.S.-based hospitals have been named to the list. To earn this recognition, hospitals undergo a comprehensive application and review process. Hospitals on this list typically have high nurse job satisfaction, low levels of RN turnover, and lower 30-day mortality rates. Fewer than 10% of the hospitals in the U.S. have earned Magnet status, and only a select few hospitals will earn the new “with Distinction” honor to recognize an “elite level” of performance, according to the ANCC. Of note all the U.S.-based hospitals on this prestigious list use Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometers. “We extend our congratulations to all the hospitals recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet with Distinction program. This honor reflects their unwavering dedication to excellence in nursing practice, compassionate patient care, and continuous innovation,” said Dr. Francesco Pompei, founder and CEO of Exergen Corporation. “Exergen is proud to support these organizations. Our mission is to provide fast, accurate, and non-invasive temperature readings that empower nurses and clinicians to deliver the highest standard of patient care.” Doctors and nurses prefer Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometer because it is clinically accurate, very easy to use, non-invasive, very cost efficient, user- and patient friendly, and improves significantly productivity. The Temporal Artery Thermometers use infrared technology to measure the heat naturally emitting from the skin surface on the forehead specifically from the temporal artery which is positioned 2 mm below the skin. In addition, this method incorporates a patented arterial heat balance system to automatically account for the effects of ambient temperature on the skin.
