Cape Fear Valley Hoke Hospital has earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade for the third consecutive time from The Leapfrog Group, a leading independent national organization committed to improving healthcare quality and safety.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade evaluates nearly 3,000 hospitals nationwide and assigns grades based on up to 30 evidence-based measures of patient safety. Grades are calculated under the guidance of a National Expert Panel and are publicly available to help individuals make informed decisions about their care.
“Achieving an ‘A’ Safety Grade is a significant milestone and reflects the commitment of our team to prioritize the safety and well-being of our patients,” said Hoke Healthcare President Sonja McLendon in a press release. “This recognition reinforces our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of care for Hoke County and the surrounding community.”
Cape Fear Valley Hoke Hospital’s success in earning this top grade is the result of several initiatives aimed at enhancing patient safety, including:
In addition to Hoke Hospital’s ‘A’ grade, Cape Fear Valley Betsy Johnson Hospital and Cape Fear Valley Central Harnett Hospital both earned ‘B’ grades in the Fall 2024 ratings, demonstrating continued progress despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. Cape Fear Valley Medical Center received a ‘C’ grade this fall.
“While we acknowledge the ‘C’ grade for Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, it reflects our ongoing commitment to addressing areas for improvement,” said Daniel Weatherly, Chief Operating Officer of Cape Fear Valley Health, in a press release. “The effects of the pandemic have presented significant challenges for all healthcare providers, but we remain focused on enhancing patient safety and ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.”
