Silver Cross is one of the SAFEST hospitals in the nation.

8 STRAIGHT A’s for Patient Safety Keeping patients safe is our No. 1 priority, which is why Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox has been recognized as one of the safest hospitals in America by the Leapfrog Group.

Developed under the guidance of an expert panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data so consumers can see how well their hospital protects patients from errors, accidents, injuries, and infections. More than 2,600 U.S. hospitals are graded twice per year. It’s calculated by top safety experts, peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public.

To see Silver Cross Hospital’s full grade and tips for staying safe in the hospital, visit hospitalsafetygrade.org 1900 Silver Cross Blvd. • New Lenox • (815) 300-1100 • www.silvercross.org
