Englewood Hospital Earns 26th 'A' Patient Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group

May 6, 2026 — Englewood Hospital has once again been awarded an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for spring 2026, marking the 26th time the hospital has achieved this top rating and reinforcing its longstanding commitment to patient safety.

“Earning an ‘A’ once is an achievement—earning it 26 times is a reflection of who we are,” said Kathleen Kaminsky, MS, RN, NE-BC, senior vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer. “Patient safety isn’t a priority that shifts—it’s our standard. It shows up in every decision we make, every process we refine, and every patient we care for.”

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is a national distinction that evaluates hospitals on their ability to protect patients from preventable harm and medical errors. Grades are determined through a rigorous assessment of publicly available data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, and other national performance measures.

The Safety Grade highlights hospitals that excel in 22 evidence-based measures of patient safety and quality, including efforts to reduce complications, prevent infections, improve outcomes, and lower mortality rates.

The grading methodology is peer-reviewed, fully transparent, and free to the public. The Leapfrog Group updates safety grades twice a year, in the spring and fall.
