Centinela Earns Straight “A” for Patient Safety Fifth Straight Year Centinela Hospital Medical Center was honored with an “A” Hospital Safety Score by The Leapfrog Group, the nation’s leading nonprofit watchdog on hospital quality and safety, in its Spring 2017 biannual report card. This marks the fifth year in a row that Centinela Hospital has earned the top “A” rating, making it one of only 63 hospitals nationwide to have earned Straight A’s since the inception of Leapfrog’s Hospital Safety Scores in 2012. Centinela Hospital Medical Center was one of only nine hospitals within Los Angeles County to receive an “A” rating for the Spring 2017 report card. Developed under the guidance of an expert panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D, and F grades to more than 2,500 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is calculated by top patient safety experts, peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Centinela Hospital has invested in a $100 million capital expansion and renovation plan. In May 2016, it completed a $55 million seismic retrofit project that included the unveiling of a new hospital front entrance, lobby, admitting department, laboratory, gift shop, and administration offices. In March 2017, it opened its newly expanded emergency room that includes 10,000 square feet of additional space to increase the number of emergency room beds to 52. Further remodeling and expansion projects under construction include more emergency department upgrades, maternal services and labor and delivery, radiology, hybrid cath lab, and pharmacy facilities.
