Parkland Medical Center Earns an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group
Fall 2025 Safety Grade is a national recognition for commitment to patient safety
DERRY, NH (Nov. 13, 2025) – Parkland Medical Center, part of HCA Healthcare, has earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country using evidence-based measures of patient safety focused exclusively on errors, accidents, injuries and infections.
“Patient safety and providing a high-quality healthcare experience for all of our patients and their families is our top priority,” said Hannah Morin, vice president of quality and patient safety at Parkland Medical Center. “Our dedicated medical staff and support teams consistently implement best practices to ensure our patients receive exceptional care with the best possible outcomes.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
“Earning an ‘A’ grade means Parkland Medical Center made a true commitment to put patient safety first,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “We congratulate the leadership, Board, clinicians, staff and volunteers that all had a role to play in this achievement.”
