Two Lehigh Valley Hospitals were among the 22 Pennsylvania hospitals recognized by the Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania for their exemplary results delivering safe patient care.

Now in its sixth year, HAP’s Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition program honors the commonwealth’s top-performing hospitals that have demonstrated low rates of healthcare-associated infections. The 2024 honorees were selected based on their performance during 2023.

“Delivering high-quality and safe care to their communities is hospitals’ top priority,” HAP President and CEO Nicole Stallings said. “HAP is proud to recognize the Pennsylvania hospital teams that have achieved outstanding results from their commitment to continuous quality and safety improvement.”

HAP announced the 2024 Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition recipients during its Patient Safety, Quality, and Equity Symposium in Harrisburg.

Lehigh Valley Hospital Pocono and Lehigh Valley Hospital Schuylkill were recognized.
