Santa Rosa Medical Center Earns A Grade from Watchdog Group

Santa Rosa County, FL (Newsradio 92.3) -- Santa Rosa Medical Center has earned an "A" safety grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit watchdog that evaluates hospitals on patient safety. It's the only hospital in Escambia or Santa Rosa County to receive an "A" rating. The grade is based on evidence-based measures of medical errors, accidents, injuries and infections. Hospital leaders say the rating reflects their staff's commitment to putting patient safety first. The Leapfrog Group updates hospital safety grades twice a year and publishes them online for the public.
