I extend my congratulations to Enloe Health, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for their tireless efforts to put patients first.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
“At Enloe Health, patient safety is at the core of what drives us,” said Mike Wiltermood, Enloe Health’s President and CEO. “An ‘A’ grade from Leapfrog speaks volumes about our caregivers’ dedication to patient safety.”
