SARASOTA COUNTY – Four Sarasota area hospitals earned A grades in the latest hospital report cards released by the rating organization the Leapfrog Group Thursday.
Lakewood Ranch Medical Center and Manatee Memorial Hospital both earned B grades. Blake Medical Center earned a C, as did Bayfront Health Port Charlotte and Bayfront Health Punta Gorda in Charlotte County. Hospitals with a consistent pattern of protecting patients from errors, accidents and injuries, like these straight A hospitals, seem to have been more prepared when the pandemic hit, Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, said in a prepared statement. For many, safety and quality are embedded in their daily work at all levels of the organization, which prepared them in turn to respond to the rapidly evolving pandemic.

The recent holidays impacted more than just our social calendars.
“We have seen a slight upward curve recently, and we’re trying to suppress that as much as we can,” said Joseph Pepe, administrator for the Florida Department of Health in Charlotte County.
“The reason why that’s a concern is we just had Easter holiday. And in Easter, you typically spend time with grandparents and other family members, so you run the risk of exposing those that are maybe more vulnerable,” he said.
