CoxHealth achieves Magnet Status
CoxHealth has earned Magnet status, the highest national and international honor a health care organization can receive for professional nursing practice that supports quality patient outcomes specifically influenced by registered nurses!
The Springfield, MO hospitals are the first and only Magnet-designated facilities in the region. To achieve this designation is a years-long process.
We are so honored and proud to be a part of CoxHealth, an esteemed and accomplished organization with such bright days ahead. It brings us joy that so many of our graduates are providing internationally-recognized care, and many of our future graduates will join them.
Congratulations to all of the people who contribute daily to making CoxHealth a trusted health care facility with outstanding organizational culture and excellent patient care!
New team members at Cox College
This month, we welcomed two new employees into the fold. Eric Koller is our new Senior Billing Specialist and Andrew Venturella is the Senior Staff Accountant.
You most likely know Eric as the previous manager of Primrose Perk coffee shop.
So glad to have Eric and Andrew at Cox College!
Medical Assistants Week
October 17-21 was Medical Assistants week! We appreciate all of our MA students and graduates; they play such a vital role in health care facilities. We hope it was a great week!
