Accolades for Patient Safety Continue, National Recognition Reaffirms Commitment To Quality Care Excela Health continues to be recognized for exceptional patient care, with Excela Westmoreland Hospital once again receiving an “A” in The Leapfrog Group’s Spring 2021 Hospital Safety Grades. The designation comes for the second consecutive grading period and reaffirms Excela Health’s continuing efforts in protecting patients from harm and meeting the highest safety standards in the United States. The Leapfrog Group is a national organization committed to improving healthcare quality and safety for consumers and purchasers. Nationally, only 906 hospitals received an “A” for the period. In Pennsylvania, Excela Health Westmoreland is one of 56 facilities to do so. Excela Latrobe Hospital maintained its “B” for this evaluation period; Excela Frick Hospital does not have sufficient data to be rated in this program.

Patients will enter through the Excela Health Heart, Lung & Vascular Institute and will be instructed from there. To schedule an appointment call: 724-689-0100
