White Plains Hospital has been named a 2024 Top General Hospital by The Leapfrog Group for the fourth time. The hospital is one of just 36 general hospitals nationwide, and one of only two in New York state, to receive this prestigious honor.
The selection of Leapfrog’s Top Hospitals is based on the results of the 2024 Leapfrog Hospital Survey, completed by nearly 2,400 hospitals. Performance measures across many areas of hospital care that impact quality, safety and value.
Last month, White Plains Hospital earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for the 12thconsecutive time. The hospital has received an “A” rating each period since the beginning of 2019, and is the only hospital in the Hudson Valley, and one of only four hospitals in New York state, to earn this top grade 12 consecutive times.
Earlier this year, White Plains Hospital received its third straight five-star quality rating from CMS — the highest distinction offered by the federal agency – making it the only hospital in Westchester and Fairfield counties, as well as in the Hudson Valley, to earn five stars for three consecutive years.
“We are extremely proud to be consistently named among the top hospitals in the country,” said Dr. Rafael Torres, chief quality officer at White Plains Hospital.
“White Plains Hospital has set the standard for patient safety, earning the prestigious distinction of a Top Hospital,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “This elite honor reflects the exceptional efforts of the entire team and places White Plains Hospital among the nation’s elite in health care. Congratulations to all who made this remarkable achievement possible.”
