Beverly Hospital Earns Top Marks In Safety

BEVERLY, MA —Beverly Hospital has once again been ranked among the top Massachusetts hospitals for safety.

The hospital earned an "A" grade in the Fall 2021 Hospital Safety Grades from The Leapfrog Group. The ratings are based on how well hospitals protect patients from preventable harm, including medical errors, injuries and infections within the hospital.

Beverly Hospital is one of only 23 hospitals in the United States, and only one of two hospitals in Massachusetts, to be awarded an “A” every grading cycle since 2012.

"I am so proud of the team at Beverly Hospital for their commitment to excellence and creating a culture of safety, trust and transparency," Beverly Hospital President Tom Sands said. "Patients can feel at ease when they come to Beverly Hospital that our clinicians and staff work hard to provide the highest level of safe patient care."

Beverly Hospital was one of 30 in the state to get an "A" grade in Fall 2021. One hospital received a "D" grade.

"Throughout this pandemic, the clinicians and staff have worked even harder to provide the same level of outstanding care while maintaining a safe environment for our patients," said Mark Gendreau, Chief Medical Officer at Beverly Hospital. "It's an honor to see our collective efforts under challenging circumstances be recognized by Leapfrog's highest safety designation."
