Parrish Medical Center Earns An ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group

TITUSVILLE, FLA. (May 1, 2024)—Parrish Medical Center earns an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit healthcare watchdog. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.

Parrish Healthcare President and CEO George Mikitarian, shares his appreciation and excitement of the recent ‘A’ grade. “Receiving an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group reflects our unwavering commitment to patient care and safety. It’s a testament to the dedication of our Care Partners and our continuous efforts to maintain the highest standards in healthcare.”

“Everyone who works at Parrish Medical Center should be proud of this ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade,” said Leah Binder, President and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “It takes complete dedication at every level, and an ironclad commitment to putting patients first. I thank Parrish Medical Center, its leadership, clinicians, staff, and volunteers for caring so deeply for its patients and their safety.”

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program focused exclusively on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day nationally. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
