The rate of patient infections at the hospital was significantly above the national average for 4 different categories of infections including: (1) infections in the blood, (2) MRSA infections, (3) C. diff. infections, and (4) sepsis infections after surgery. * The Leapfrog Group provides many more detailed ratings of the quality of different types of care at this hospital. In the maternity category, the hospital was rated as having "achieved the standard" for high risk deliveries.
