Valley Health Valley Health’s two acute care hospitals, Winchester Medical Center (WMC) and Warren Memorial Hospital (WMH), have again earned “A” Hospital Safety Grades from The Leapfrog Group, an independent, nonprofit national watchdog organization, recognizing their achievements in protecting patients from harm in the hospital setting.
Twice a year, the Leapfrog Group assigns letter grades to nearly 3,000 general acute care hospitals across the country based on over 30 evidence-based patient safety performance measures reflecting errors, injuries, accidents and infections, as well as systems in place to prevent harm.
This is the sixth consecutive “A” for WMC, which is the highest graded facility in the Northern Shenandoah Valley/Eastern Panhandle region.
To see the full grade details for WMC and WMH and to access patient tips for staying safe in the hospital, visit www.HospitalSafetyGrade.org.
