PENSACOLA, Fla. (WKRG) — Officials with Sacred Heart Pensacola Hospital are celebrating after the hospital earned an ‘A’ spring 2024 Hospital Safety Grade for the seventh year in a row.

According to a press release, the grade was given by the Leapfrog Group, an organization that collects, analyzes, and publishes data on safety and quality in the healthcare industry. The Leapfrog Group states they have evaluated nearly 3,000 hospitals on “how well they keep patients safe from harm,” assigning them an ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, or ‘F’ grade.
