Henry Ford Allegiance Health earned an A grade for patient safety performance in The Leapfrog Group’s safety grades released today. All acute-care hospitals within the Henry Ford Health System also earned the A grade. Henry Ford Allegiance Health has an almost perfect record in achieving A’s in the Hospital Safety Score since grading began in 2012. The one exception was the Spring 2018 Grade when the A rating was missed by a mere .0459 points. The A ranking places Henry Ford Allegiance Health, Henry Ford Hospital, Henry Ford Macomb Hospital, Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital and Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital among the safest hospitals in the United States. This marks the first time the hospitals have earned the top safety grade simultaneously in The Leapfrog Group’s bi-annual safety grades. By doing so, Henry Ford is one of only two health systems nationally – and the only one in Michigan – to achieve that distinction for the fall safety grades. “As Henry Ford Allegiance Health enters our second century, I am confident our focus on consistent use of best practices…

And a win against and MIAA school would also be an increase in momentum for SAU. The Cougars and Scotts haven’t played since 2014, when the Cougars won their first in what is now a 1-2 all-time series. The 2014 contest was a tight game, a final of 63-61, and it will likely be close again tonight. They lost by margins of five and two in their first two appearances, so tight endings have become a theme for the two. A win tonight would move the series to .500 as well. On Saturday, Paul Marandet became the 45th player in Spring Arbor University history to reach 1,000 career points in a 78-67 win over Ohio Christian University to close out the Trent Allen Memorial Classic. Marandet entered the contest needing just 11 points to…
