Liberty Hospital Named Among Safest in Nation

The Leapfrog Group, a national, nonprofit safety watchdog that rates how well hospitals protect patients from preventable medical errors, injuries and infections, awarded Liberty Hospital an “A” grade for patient safety for its Spring 2023 term. It is the only hospital in the Northland to receive a grade “A” for this term and has consistently ranked highest inpatient safety among Northland hospitals during the past three years.

“This outstanding achievement is only possible with a smart, dedicated workforce, and I am tremendously proud of our team for consistently putting patient safety first,” Raghu Adiga, MD, hospital president and CEO, said. “Receiving the highest possible score is an incredible accomplishment and I commend our team’s efforts to achieve such high standards and meet the need for premier healthcare in the Northland.”

During the past two decades, The Leapfrog Group has been committed to making hospitals safe and transparent. The Hospital Safety Grade is compiled under the guidance of leading experts and administered by The Leapfrog Group.
