Mather Hospital earned its 20th top ‘A’ grade for patient safety from “The Leapfrog Group” in the current ratings period, the most of any hospital in Suffolk County.
Mather was one of seven Northwell Health hospitals to earn the top grade, according to a report released today by The Leapfrog Group for Spring 2024. The other Northwell hospitals are:
- Glen Cove Hospital
- Huntington Hospital
- Northern Westchester Hospital

“This national recognition is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our entire Mather team,” said Executive Director Kevin McGeachy. “We have created a culture of safety that encourages team members to speak up about any possible concerns.”
The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit organization, assigns A, B, C, D or F grades to nearly 3,000 acute-care hospitals nationwide, which is based on 30 evidence-based patient safety performance measures, as well as federal data. The organization issues the report twice a year.
