A new
list of the supposedly safest hospitals in the country
has been released, and some Hudson Valley health centers are receiving top
marks.
The Leapfrog group rated hospitals based on safety
improvements that have been made, specifically when it comes to preventing unnecessary
errors, accidents etc.
St. Anthony Community Hospital in Warwick and White Plains
Hospital both received "A" grades, while Bon Secours in Port Jervis
got a "B."
While there were thankfully no "F" ratings in the
Hudson Valley, Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla received a D, along with
St. John's Riverside in Yonkers.
