This inclusive project will transform our hospital and spark investment in the Southward.&nbsp; We need a name that captures what this means to our neighbors as well as our staff,\u201d said Darrell K. Terry, Sr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children\u2019s Hospital of New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are three names to choose from: \u201cOpen Doors Project\u201d; \u201cNewark Strong Project\u201d; or \u201cBright Future Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the construction phase of the project, the hospital will prominently display the name that receives the most votes and will use the name in all communications. The winning name will be announced on May 20th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center was recently awarded an \u201cA\u201d Hospital Safety Score by the Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit organization. This is the hospital\u2019s sixth consecutive \u201cA\u201d rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis sixth consecutive A is a testament to Newark Beth Israel\u2019s unwavering commitment to the safety of our patients, their families and our employees. Even in the midst of this pandemic our clinicians and staff remained laser focused on delivering excellent care to all of our patients,\u201d said Darrell K. Terry, Sr., MHA, MPH, FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children\u2019s Hospital of New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developed under the guidance of a national expert panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses up to 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,700 U.S. acute-care hospitals twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade\u2019s methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the results are free to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on the Leapfrog Group and the Spring 2021 scores, please visit: www.hospitalsafety score.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEWARK &#8211; Newark Beth Israel Medical Center is about to begin the largest expansion of its facility since 1967.
