Noble Earns ‘A’ in Patient Safety
WESTFIELD — Noble Hospital was recognized with an ‘A’ hospital-safety score by the Leapfrog Group, an independent, national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits.
The Hospital Safety Score, compiled under the guidance of the nation’s leading experts on patient safety, is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families.
“Noble Hospital is very proud of our patient-safety record. It reflects a commitment to care that is shared by everyone,” said Allison Gearing-Kalill, vice president of Marketing. “This represents our dedication to the community and to providing the best patient care possible.”
Earning an ‘A’ demonstrates that the hospital has exhibited excellence in the national database of patient safety measures, said Leah Binder, president and CEO of the Leapfrog Group.
