Mary Bridge Children\u2019s Hospital is one of only 13 children\u2019s hospitals across the country being awarded \u2018Top Hospital\u2019 status today by The Leapfrog Group, an independent hospital watchdog organization.<\/p>\n

The Top Children\u2019s Hospital award for 2018 is tied to achievements in patient safety and quality, and is widely acknowledged as one of the most competitive honors American hospitals can receive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to receive this recognition from The Leapfrog Group on behalf the patients and families we serve every day.\u00a0 Today, we reaffirm our pledge to be one of the best and safest hospitals in the country\u201d says Jeff Poltawsky, President and Market Leader of Mary Bridge Children\u2019s Hospital and Health Network. \u201cThis award is a direct reflection of the advocacy and compassionate care our clinicians and staff provide every day, and we are humbled to be one of this select group of children\u2019s hospitals across the nation recognized with this distinction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Performance across many areas of hospital care is considered in establishing the qualifications for the award, including infection rates, care management, and the hospital\u2019s capacity to prevent medication errors. The rigorous standards are defined in each year\u2019s Top Hospital methodology.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing acknowledged as a \u2018Top Children\u2019s Hospital\u2019 is an incredible feat achieved by less than six percent of eligible hospitals nationwide,\u201d said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. \u201cWith this honor, Mary Bridge has established its commitment to safer and higher quality care. Providing this level of care to patients requires motivation and drive from every team member. I congratulate the board, staff and clinicians, whose efforts made this honor possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

To qualify for the Top Hospitals distinction, hospitals must submit a Leapfrog Hospital Survey and achieve highest performance in its category. The selection of Top Hospitals 2018 is based on surveys from nearly 1,900 hospitals.<\/p>\n
