Port Huron, MI — McLaren Port Huron Hospital was recently awarded a Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade of “A”. The national distinction recognizes the hospital’s achievements that protect patients from harm and provide safe, compassionate health care.
Records of prevention of medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections, and other harm to patients as well as patient experience factor into the grade.
The Leapfrog score uses safety data to rate more than 2600 hospitals twice each year. The peer-reviewed methodology and transparent results are free to the public. Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, said, “We are extremely grateful to hospital leadership and health care workers who have remained steadfast in prioritizing patient safety as our nation battles COVID-19.”
McLaren Port Huron’s President and CEO Eric Cecava said, “This Leapfrog safety grade is a testament to the care and commitment of those who work at McLaren Port Huron. Given the extraordinary challenges of COVID-19, this grade is even more impressive. Our team never loses sight of the critical need to provide high quality care in a compassionate and safe environment.”
