Lakeview Regional Medical Center, a campus of Tulane Medical Center, was awarded an A rating from the Leapfrog Group, an independent hospital quality watchdog. The top grade recognizes Lakeview Regional’s ability to prevent medical errors, injuries, and infections that kill or harm patients. Only 32% of hospitals in the U.S. achieved an A grade.
“Receiving this A grade in safety requires a tremendous amount of commitment from Lakeview Regional physicians and staff that reflects the high priority we place on patient care,” said Hiral Patel, Lakeview Regional CEO. “I commend our team for their dedication and integrity in reaching this achievement.”
