Broward Health North and Broward Health Coral Springs have once again secured an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, marking another strong showing for the two facilities in the national nonprofit’s biannual assessment of patient safety.
For Broward Health North, the recognition represents a fourth consecutive “A.” CEO Matt Garner said the continued top rating highlights the hospital’s commitment to maintaining rigorous safety standards across its 409-bed facility. “We take great pride in knowing that our community can trust us to provide care in an environment where patient safety always comes first,” he said.
Broward Health Coral Springs also celebrated its latest top grade. CEO Kristen Bowman said the rating reinforces the work of caregivers who prioritize safe, high-quality care every day. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our caregivers, who consistently deliver safe and high-quality care to every patient,” she noted.
Leapfrog’s Hospital Safety Grade is the only national ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, injuries and infections—factors that contribute to more than 500 patient deaths daily in the United States. The rating is based on more than 30 performance measures, undergoes peer review and is updated twice a year, in spring and fall.
