Another 38% received a B from Leapfrog, a nonprofit watchdog organization representing health care consumers and purchasers.
Ten hospitals improved upon their grade from fall 2020, and four hospitals moved down a grade.
Based on the percentage of A grade hospitals, New Jersey moved from 17th to 14th in the nation. Saint Barnabas Medical Center, located in Livingston, is one of just 27 hospitals in the country to have achieved straight A grades since Leapfrog began grading in 2012.
