Steward Health Care, the nation’s largest physician-owned and physician-led health care network, proudly recognizes Morton Hospital in being top-ranked for patient safety by the Leapfrog Group.

Leapfrog’s Hospital Safety Grade is a consumer-friendly letter grade system evaluating more than 2,600 hospitals on how well they keep patients safe from harm. The single letter grade is derived from up to 27 national patient safety measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, as well as information from other supplemental data sources – a methodology that has been peer reviewed and published in the Journal of Patient Safety.
