Nyack, N.Y., May 6, 2026 – Montefiore Nyack Hospital earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country using evidence-based measures of patient safety focused exclusively on errors, accidents, injuries and infections.

 “Patient safety is paramount in our culture at Montefiore Nyack Hospital,” said Mark Geller, MD, FACR, president and chief executive officer of Montefiore Nyack Hospital. “This national honor is a testament to the dedication of our incredible team, who follow the most stringent safety measures to ensure our patients' healthcare experience remains our top priority.”

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections, and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent, and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring. 

“An ‘A’ Grade is a strong sign that Montefiore Nyack Hospital is deeply committed to protecting patients from harm,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “We commend the leadership, Board, clinicians, staff, and volunteers for the role each played in earning this distinction.”
