Genesis HealthCare System Earns an “A” for Safety from Prestigious Leapfrog Group
Friday, May 8, 2026
Genesis HealthCare System has earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for spring 2026, a national recognition awarded to hospitals that demonstrate excellence in patient safety and quality of care.
“This recognition demonstrates the high-quality care Genesis has achieved for our patients” said Matthew Perry, President and CEO of Genesis HealthCare System. “Every day, our physicians, nurses, clinical teams and support teams take extra steps to ensure patient safety. Earning an ‘A’ is vital because it represents the trust our communities place in us and the commitment our people have for delivering safe, high-quality care with compassion.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is one of the nation’s most respected measures of patient safety. Hospitals are evaluated using up to 32 evidence-based measures, including rates of preventable errors, injuries, accidents and infections.
Grades are assigned twice each year to general acute-care hospitals nationwide and are widely considered a gold standard for hospital safety performance.
For Genesis, the recognition reflects an ongoing commitment to excellence in patient care, from emergency services and surgery to inpatient care and recovery.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is cited nationally by organizations and publications, including MSNBC, The New York Times and AARP The Magazine.
