Show Notes
Healthgrades 2026 Patient Safety Excellence Awards honor 438 top-performing hospitals, with Texas, Florida, California, Ohio, and Pennsylvania leading the pack. These hospitals show significantly lower rates of serious in-hospital problems, such as falls, collapsed lungs, and infections. Experts emphasize the importance of safety steps in reducing complications and fostering a patient-centric culture. If all hospitals matched these top performers, over 100,000 safety events could have been avoided from 2022 to 2024. Notable winners include Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic affiliates, with nearly one-third being first-time honorees. Ten states plus Washington D.C. had no winners, often due to rural gaps and longer travel for care. Check Healthgrades for the full list to see if your local hospital made the cut.
