Riddle Hospital recognized for excellence in patient safety
Media, PA — Riddle Hospital, part of Main Line Health, has received statewide recognition for its outstanding performance in patient safety.
The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) is recognizing Riddle through its 2025 Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition program. The recognition honors Pennsylvania’s top-performing hospitals that have demonstrated low rates of healthcare-associated infections.
“Patient safety is our top priority at Riddle Hospital,” said hospital President Jim Paradis. “Everyone on our team, from physicians and nurses to members of our environmental services staff, focuses on making sure that patient care takes place in a safe, secure environment. I’m proud of the effort that went into earning this recognition and will continue to strive to provide the safest and highest quality patient care.”
Twenty-two hospitals this year are being recognized based on their performance during 2024. HAP identifies top-performing hospitals using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network. To be recognized, hospitals must perform better than the mean standardized infection ratio in three key measures: central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and Clostridioides difficile infections.
“Hospitals’ top priority is ensuring high-quality, safe care for their communities,” HAP President and CEO Nicole Stallings said. “HAP proudly recognizes the Pennsylvania hospital teams that went above and beyond to demonstrate their commitment to continuous quality and safety improvement and achieved exceptional results.”
