Rose Medical Center Only Hospital in Colorado to Once Again Achieve Elite

National Recognition from The Leapfrog Group for Straight "A's" in Patient
Safety

Denver, CO, November 09, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Rose Medical Center achieved straight "A's" for the 7th
consecutive year / 14th consecutive session in The Leapfrog Group's Fall 2018 Hospital Safety Grade,
released yesterday. With the Hospital Safety Grades, Leapfrog assigns an A, B, C, D or F grade to
hospitals across the country based on how safe they are for patients. Rose Medical Center is one of only
42 "Straight A" hospitals in the United States to be awarded an "A" every grading cycle since 2012 and
the only Colorado hospital to maintain straight A's.

“Our commitment to patient safety drives our team every day, and The Leapfrog Group's Hospital Safety
Grade is a meaningful representation of measuring safety in hospitals,” says Ryan Tobin, president and
CEO of Rose Medical Center. “Continuing to be named among the nation's safest hospitals means a great
deal to us. Congratulations to our extraordinary team for maintaining straight A's.”

Developed under the guidance of a National Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 28
measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign the grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals
twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade's methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the
results are free to the public.

“Rose Medical Center's continued success in achieving an A rating is evidence that the organization
places an emphasis on protecting patients from preventable medical errors, injuries and infections. We are
inspired by Rose Medical Center's leadership on patient safety,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of
The Leapfrog Group.
