New Grade for Fall 2024 is a national recognition for commitment to patient safety.

HENDERSONVILLE, NC, November 12, 2024 – AdventHealth Hendersonville is proud to announce that we have once again earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an “A”, “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on more than 30 performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them. This elite designation sets the highest standards for patient safety in the United States, and earning a Hospital Safety Grade of “A” recognizes AdventHealth Hendersonville as one of America’s safest hospitals.

The 2024 Fall Safety Grade is AdventHealth Hendersonville’s 17th consecutive “A” Hospital Safety Grade. It also represents another increase in the hospital's numerical score. AdventHealth Hendersonville’s continuous and consecutive top safety score is a reflection of AdventHealth’s commitment to patient safety and ensuring the highest-quality care for every patient, every time.

I extend my congratulations to AdventHealth Hendersonville, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for their tireless efforts to put patients first.”
