15 A’s in a Row!
Patient safety is more than a goal of ours. It’s a tradition.
The Leapfrog Group has awarded Baptist Memorial Hospital-Union County an ‘A’ rating, health care’s gold standard for patient safety. As of November 2025, this is our 15th consecutive ‘A’.
Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades provide consumer-friendly, patient-reported data and research to help you make informed decisions about a critical aspect of your hospital stay – safety. They are assigned to nearly 3,000 general acute-care hospitals across the nation twice annually based on up to 30 national performance measures, including:
- Preventing surgical errors, falls and patient injuries
- Protection from common hospital infections, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile (C. diff)
- The responsiveness of the hospital staff
- Communication about medicines
- Communication with nurses and doctors
Now, more than ever, you and your loved ones’ safety are a top priority at Baptist Union County. And we have the grades to prove it.
