Henderson Hospital Earns 12th Consecutive "A" Hospital Safety Grade From The Leapfrog Group
Henderson Hospital earned its 12th consecutive “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit watchdog. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
“To be consistently recognized by The Leapfrog Group for patient safety is a tremendous point of pride for us,” said Sam Kaufman, CEO of Henderson Hospital. “Since opening in 2016, our culture has been focused on every aspect of patient safety, and this 12th consecutive award reflects the commitment of every single person on our team to provide safe, effective, compassionate care.”
