Awarded “A” in Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade

Blanchard Valley Hospital was recently honored with an “A” grade in the Fall 2016 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, which rates how well hospitals protect patients from errors, accidents, injuries and infections. 

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” score representing a hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from preventable harm. More than 2,600 U.S. hospitals were graded in Fall 2016, with 844 hospitals receiving an “A.”

A Life Flight helicopter from the Bluffton Airport landed directly on the northbound lane of Interstate 75 late Friday afternoon (Nov. 4).

The landing was a result of a two vehicle accident, which stopped northbound traffic.
