Hospital grades are in for spring 2023 and New Jersey received the highest marks nationwide for patient safety. The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit that advocates for quality care, awarded nearly three dozen New Jersey Hospitals A grades, the highest percentage of top scores in any state.

While hospitals and staff continue to recover from the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, New Jersey hospitals continue to maintain positive grades throughout this period. There were no D or F ratings this year.
