Attleboro, MA (May 1, 2025) – Sturdy Memorial Hospital, part of Sturdy Health, earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an A to F grade to hospitals across the country based on more than 30 performance measures of errors, accidents, injuries, and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.

I extend my congratulations to Sturdy Memorial Hospital, its leadership, clinicians, staff, and volunteers for their tireless efforts to put patients first.”
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.
