East Jefferson General Hospital, Lakeside Hospital, Lakeview Hospital, Touro, Tulane Medical Center, and West Jefferson Medical Center all received an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit upholding the standard of patient safety in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. This national distinction celebrates each hospital’s achievements in prioritizing patient safety by protecting patients from preventable harm and errors. The new grades reflect performance primarily during the height of the pandemic.
