Thomas—have received an "A" grade for patient safety from The Leapfrog Group’s Fall 2024 National Hospital Safety Grades. This national rating underscores the healthcare provider's commitment to maintaining high standards of care in Northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana.

"This recognition reflects the expertise, diligence, and dedication of our physicians, providers, and associates and stands as a testament to their commitment to delivering exceptional care every day. For our patients and their families, it offers reassurance that they are truly receiving the best care possible."
