Milton, Mass. – Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Milton (BID Milton) earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit watchdog.

“Everyone who works at BID Milton should be proud of this ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade,” said Leah Binder, President and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “It takes complete dedication of at every level, and an ironclad commitment to putting patients first. I thank BID Milton, its leadership, clinicians, staff, and volunteers for caring so deeply for its patients and their safety.”
