Four Parkview hospitals earn As in spring Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades
Fort Wayne, Indiana (May 5, 2025) – Four Parkview hospitals received “A” grades in the spring Hospital Safety Grades released by The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit focused on patient safety in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.
Parkview Regional Medical Center, Parkview Huntington Hospital, Parkview Noble Hospital, and Parkview Whitley Hospital received an “A” in Leapfrog’s twice-annual safety rating. Parkview DeKalb Hospital and Parkview Bryan Hospital both received “B” grades this spring.
Leapfrog assigns an A-F grade to general hospitals across the country based on more than 30 national performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm.
Parkview’s hospitals continued to build their streaks of quality this spring. Parkview Regional Medical Center (PRMC) has scored an “A” on 22 of 24 Leapfrog report cards dating back to 2013. Parkview Noble Hospital has received an “A” for six consecutive report cards, while Parkview Huntington Hospital and Parkview Whitley Hospital/Parkview Kosciusko Hospital have received five straight “A”s. Parkview DeKalb Hospital has received eight “A”s over its last 10 ratings.
“Parkview is hyper-focused on safety for both our patients and our co-workers,” said Dr. Jeffrey Boord, chief quality and safety officer, Parkview Health. “Our quality and safety teams analyze data and review event reporting year-round as we continue to identify and address issues and opportunities as they arise. This everyday focus on quality is why Parkview is consistently a top-performing health system on Leapfrog’s annual report cards.”
Parkview Hospital Randallia and Parkview Kosciusko Hospital do not appear as their own separate entities in the Leapfrog rankings, because those hospitals operate within the business licenses of PRMC and Parkview Whitley Hospital, respectively.
Parkview LaGrange Hospital, Parkview Wabash Hospital and Parkview Montpelier Hospital are not graded because the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade does not assess critical access hospitals due to limitations on publicly available data from those smaller facilities. Parkview Orthopedic Hospital is also not graded by Leapfrog because it is a specialty hospital.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program focused exclusively on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day nationally. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
