The Leapfrog Group awarded 'A' grades for patient safety to 11 Northwell hospitals, highlighting their commitment to high-quality care. This achievement underscores Northwell's dedication to maintaining rigorous safety standards and delivering exceptional patient outcomes.

“The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades are another demonstration that our team members are committed to providing the highest quality and safest care to patients,” said Peter Silver, MD, senior vice president and chief quality officer at Northwell. “Northwell’s promise every day to the communities that we serve is that we will continue to raise health for all.”

Additionally, several Northwell hospitals received the Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award, placing them among the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for patient safety. These awards reflect the hospitals' effective implementation of safety protocols and their focus on minimizing preventable harm to patients.

Furthermore, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded high star ratings to multiple Northwell hospitals, including Huntington Hospital, Mather Hospital, and North Shore University Hospital. These ratings are based on various metrics such as mortality rates, safety of care, and patient experience, indicating Northwell's consistent performance in delivering safe and effective care.
