St. Luke's Hospital in Duluth, Minn., has become the first hospital in the state to receive DNV's Advanced Orthopedic Center of Excellence designation, according to a Jan. 11 report from the Duluth News Tribune.
DNV certifies orthopedic excellence in more than 100 countries, taking into consideration a clinic's diagnostic services, surgical services and orthopedic physical therapy services.
"Our staff invests a lot of themselves day in and day out, and that’s why becoming the first hospital in the state to earn this recognition means so much to us," Tera Magnuson, RN, St. Luke's nurse manager, told the Tribune.
