These Jersey Shore Hospitals Just Received an “A” in Safety in New Jersey

Summertime and Christmastime are the busiest in the ER in our local hospitals. I knew summer, but Christmas?

Oh my gosh I just remembered one year on Christmas Eve I was in the ER, I cut the tip of my finger off, using a scissors. I do remember the Emergency room being so busy and thinking, I'm not the only one doing something silly to get hurt. A simple mistake can be a trip to the ER.

It's that time of the year for a different routine than we used to with the holidays. A study from the National Institute of Health says that ERs typically see a rise in the number of patients they see due to slips, falls, cuts and workplace accidents during the holidays. Please try to be extra safe this holiday season.

Seven hospitals at the Jersey Shore just received an amazing A in safety. The website, hospitalsafetygrade.org just released their grades for "Fall 2024" and our hospitals close to home did pretty well for safety.

When we talk safety from a hospital, this is what it means from hospitalsafetygrade.org: "When we talk about patient safety, we’re really talking about how hospitals and other health care organizations protect their patients from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections. While many hospitals are good at keeping their patients safe, some hospitals aren’t."
