Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston maintained its straight-A streak since the Leapfrog Safety report card began in 2012. It is one of only 27 in the country to earn an “A” in each of the 19 report cards.

New Jersey hospitals ranked 14th safest in the country based on how well they prevented infections, accidents and errors and communicated with their patients, the latest Leapfrog Hospital Safety report card released on Thursday found.
The scores for 68 acute care hospitals 26 A’s, 26 B’s, 15 C’s and one D helped New Jersey improve its standing from last fall, when it was 17th best, according to the report. Ten hospitals improved a grade and four hospitals slipped a grade. No hospital flunked. East Orange General Hospital scored the lowest with a D, the report said.

Yes, but one word seems inadequate when the hospital’s full name is the lengthy Hackensack Meridian Health Mountainside Medical Center. So I’ll amend “Wonderful” to say “Terrific, celebration-worthy news that evokes feelings of relief and gratitude we’ve been waiting to experience since March, the first of many months that each had 30 or 31 days except for one with 42 days to honor the uniform number of baseball great Jackie Robinson, who played during the same era as Larry Doby and Yogi Berra, both of whom spent many years in Montclair, although Mountainside is mostly in Glen Ridge, a town sort of shaped like a syringe and needle.
