You Care for Our Community – We Care for You
Collaborative governance is at the heart of our MMMC Nursing Professional Practice Model – this means you have the power to drive and control changes that impact your daily practice through shared decision making. When the voices of our Nurses inform our decisions, it benefits our entire work environment and, most importantly, our patients.

In May, MedStar Health’s nursing program was recognized with the first Wellbeing Excellence™ credential awarded by the prestigious American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). MedStar Health was the only acute care health system in the Mid-Atlantic region awarded this credential and one of only five recognized internationally for the new global distinction that highlights the effectiveness of work to improve the wellbeing of nurses and other diverse teams. Watch the moment we learned the great news.
MedStar Montgomery’s current vacancy rate is 5%. While this number is low compared to our region, we know that we sometimes still face acute stressors in our daily practice. Through our professional practice model and collaboration, we continue to improve our nursing practice environment to streamline and reduce friction in our daily work. With our partnership with the MedStar Institute for Innovation, we continue to look at our Model of Care and opportunities to improve your work environment and well-being.
Recruitment, Retention and Recognition are key to ensuring that MedStar Montgomery remains a beacon for Nursing Excellence in our community. Here are some highlights:
We know to keep skilled and compassionate associates we must pay our nurses competitively. Our pay increases are a combination of annual across-the-board increases and off-cycle market adjustments in 2021 and 2024.
