St. Clair is the only hospital in Pennsylvania and one of only 33 hospitals nationwide to have earned 20 straight ‘A’ ratings since the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade program was introduced. This places St. Clair among the top 1.1 percent of hospitals in America.
The Leapfrog Group, the nation’s leading patient safety watchdog, uses more than 30 measures of patient safety data to assign semi-annual grades to every general acute-care hospital across the nation. The grade measures hospitals’ performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections, and other harm to patients.
