Five Kettering Health medical centers earned an “A” hospital safety grade from the Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit upholding the standard of patient safety in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. The new grades reflect performance primarily during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
 
“The safety and well-being of our patients is a top priority at Kettering Health,” said Brenda Kuhn, chief clinical officer for Kettering Health. “These ‘A’ grades serve as a symbol of our commitment to providing high-quality care and remind the community of our dedication to a safety-first culture.”
