This grade reflects Ascension Seton’s dedication to creating a safe, reliable environment for every patient. Leapfrog assigns grades of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” to hospitals nationwide based on more than 30 safety performance metrics, including prevention of accidents, errors, infections, and other preventable incidents.
The following Ascension hospitals received ‘A’ grades from Leapfrog:
- Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin
- Ascension Seton Hays
