The Leapfrog Group, the nation's leading nonprofit watchdog on hospital quality and safety, has announced its Spring 2017 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades and Elmhurst Hospital once again earned an "A."

Elmhurst Hospital has achieved straight A's since the inception of the Safety Grade in 2012, and is one of only 63 hospitals nationwide to attain this honor.

"It is an honor and very humbling to be among such an elite group of healthcare providers from across the country," said Pamela Dunley, President & CEO, Elmhurst Hospital. "Most important, the recognition reaffirms our staff's commitment that our priority is the well-being and safety of our patients every minute they're in our hospital and we're caring for them."
