5/10/2022
GRANBURY, TX, May 10, 2022 – Lake Granbury Medical Center was awarded an ‘A’ for the
spring of 2022 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, a national distinction recognizing Lake
Granbury Medical Center’s achievements protecting patients from harm and providing safer
health care. The Leapfrog Group is an independent national watchdog organization committed to
health care quality and safety. The Safety Grade assigns an ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ or ‘F’ grade to all
general hospitals across the country and is updated every six months. It is based on a hospital’s
performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections and other harms to
patients in their care.
“It is a great honor to receive the “A” Safety Grade from Leapfrog,” states Curt M. Junkins, CEO
of Lake Granbury Medical Center. “Our staff and their dedication to the safety of our patients is
a testament to our commitment to the communities we serve.”
Developed under the guidance of a National Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade
uses up to 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than
2,600 U.S. acute-care hospitals twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade’s methodology is
peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the results are free to the public.
Lake Granbury Medical Center was awarded an ‘A’ grade today when Leapfrog updated grades
for spring of 2022. To see Lake Granbury Medical Center’s full grade details and access patient
