“Hospitals’ top priority is ensuring high-quality, safe care for their communities,” HAP President and CEO Nicole Stallings said. “HAP proudly recognizes the Pennsylvania hospital teams that went above and beyond to demonstrate their commitment to continuous quality and safety improvement and achieved exceptional results.”

HAP announced the 2025 Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition recipients today during its Patient Safety, Quality, and Equity Symposium in Harrisburg. They are:
