CONGRATULATIONS NWH

Northern Westchester Hospital (NWH) recently earned a top ‘A’ rating for its patient safety, ac-cording to The Leapfrog Group.
Derek Anderson, execu-tive director, NWH said, “Securing an ‘A’ hospital safety grade from The Leapfrog Group is no easy task. It under-scores our hospital’s dedication to patient safety and person-centered care. This achievement highlights the tireless efforts of our remarkable team, reaf-firming our mission to deliver the highest standard of health-care excellence, while priori-tizing the individual needs of every patient we serve.”
The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit organ-ization, assigns A-through-F grades to nearly 3,000 acute-care hospitals nationwide. It uses 30 evidence-based patient safety perfor-mance measures and federal data and issues the report twice annual-ly.
This accolade is just the most recent of several the hospital received over the last year, in-cluding being named one of America’s Top 250 Hospitals by Healthgrades.
