New Jersey hospitals ranked 14th safest in the country based on how well they prevented infections, accidents and errors and communicated with their patients, the latest Leapfrog Hospital Safety report card released on Thursday found.
The scores for 68 acute care hospitals 26 A’s, 26 B’s, 15 C’s and one D helped New Jersey improve its standing from last fall, when it was 17th best, according to the report. Ten hospitals improved a grade and four hospitals slipped a grade. No hospital flunked. East Orange General Hospital scored the lowest with a D, the report said.

SOMERVILLE – Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset and Walgreens recently partnered to vaccinate local teachers and school support staff.
Special COVID-19 vaccine clinics were held earlier this month at the Walgreens in Somerville, where about 400 teachers and support staff were vaccinated, the hospital announced in a news release. With schools throughout our region beginning to fully reopen, it was urgent that we work together to help ensure that as many teachers and staff as possible get vaccinated so they can safely return to the classroom, Tony Cava, president and CEO of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset, said in a statement.
