“At Novant Health, safety and quality are our top priorities and receiving our fifth straight ‘A’ letter grade is a reflection of our team members’ unwavering commitment to improving patient safety, quality and satisfaction,” said Shelbourn Stevens, president and chief operating officer at Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center.
 
The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit that evaluates the safety and patient experience provided by hospitals across the country.
 
“As a team, our physicians, nurses, advanced practice clinicians, pharmacists and clinical team members strive to have the ability to model and predict hospital-associated infections before they even happen and develop best, safe practices to better serve our patients and communities,” said Eric Eskioglu, executive vice president and chief medical officer for Winston-Salem-based Novant Health. “In the face of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, it is reassuring that safety and quality are the foundation of our mission to improve the health of our communities, one person at a time.”
