CHRISTUS Health Hospitals Receive Top Rating in Recent Survey

CHRISTUS Health hospitals in Texarkana and Atlanta have earned the top rating for healthcare safety.

CHRISTUS St. Michael Gets A Rating

The National Watchdog Organization from the Leapfrog Group assigns grades to U.S. hospitals based on their ability to prevent medical errors and harm to patients. Both CHRISTUS hospitals in Texarkana and Atlanta earned an A rating in Leapfrog’s most recent national hospital safety survey just released.  According to Leapfrog, of the nearly 3,000 hospitals graded, less than one-third received an A rating.

“CHRISTUS St. Michael has been a leader and an innovator for a long time, and the hospitals are among the highest performing in the state of Texas,” said Chris Glenney, senior vice president of group operations for CHRISTUS Northeast Texas and North Louisiana. “These grades indicate and validate the amazing work done by the entire team in the region.”

“This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to providing the highest standards of care and ensuring the safety and well-being of our patients,” said Jason Adams, president of CHRISTUS St. Michael Health System.

Serving the Ark-La-Tex region for more than 100 years, CHRISTUS St. Michael recently opened the CHRISTUS Emergency Center in Texarkana, a state-of-the-art, 12,000-square-foot freestanding emergency room on Gibson Lane, a more than $17 million investment.

On Nov. 1, CHRISTUS Health acquired the former Wadley Regional Medical Center in Texarkana, ensuring the continuity of care for patients in the region.

Additionally, five other CHRISTUS hospitals in Northeast Texas and North Louisiana earned an A grade: CHRISTUS Good Shepherd – Longview, CHRISTUS Good Shepherd – Marshall, CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Tyler, CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs, and CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier.
