Valley Health receives “A” safety grade
Valley Health’s acute care hospitals, Winchester Medical Center and Warren Memorial Hospital, earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group.
The organization is a national nonprofit which recognizes organizations for protecting their patients from harm in the hospital.
A, B, C, D, or F grades are given based on safety performance measures which includes errors, injuries, infections, and accidents as well as systems in place to prevent harm.
Only 14% of organizations evaluated receive the highest “A” rating.
Valley Health has secured that rating since 2020.
