Testimonials

I highly recommend CHCM as a full-service organization offering leadership development, nursing excellence, competency support, Shared Governance, and Magnet services. Their consultants are excellent.
CNO Emeritus
Partnering with external Magnet® experts during our journey was truly transformative. The consultation support we received [from CHCM] brought clarity, confidence, and calm to what can easily become an overwhelming process. From the start, our consultant was available to walk through big and small details. Her accessibility quickly created a relationship that felt more like a trusted partnership than a traditional engagement.
Health Care Leader
During the Magnet® process, their [CHCM] organization supported our needs. Our consultant was an expert in this area and was extremely responsive when contacted. CHCM wasn’t just a company; they were a partner in the process that was as invested in our organization’s success as if they were the organization going through it.
