DOUGLASVILLE, GA Even during a pandemic, Wellstar Douglas Hospital was ranked among the safest hospitals in Georgia last week by a nationwide nonprofit health-care watchdog group.
The Douglasville hospital received an A grade in the spring 2021 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, a national distinction recognizing how well it protected patients from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections. Leapfrog s latest report was released on Thursday.
Leapfrog grades hospitals twice a year, assigning letter grades from A to F based on each hospital s ability to protect patients from preventable errors, accidents, injuries and infections.
