Hoke Hospital earns 2025 Leapfrog’s top hospital designation
RAEFORD, NC (WWAY) — Hoke Hospital earned national recognition for excellence in patient safety and quality, earning top hospital status for the second time.
The hospital received a 2025 Leapfrog Top General Hospital designation from a nonprofit organization, The Leapfrog Group. The organization is known for its rigorous evaluation of hospital safety and care standards.
Of the 2,400 hospitals evaluated only 151 earned Top Hospital honors this year.
In November, the hospital earned an “A” rating in Leapfrog’s Hospital Safety Grade for the fifth consecutive time.
“This recognition reflects the dedication and teamwork demonstrated across our organization every day,” said Sonja McLendon, president of Hoke Healthcare. “Our physicians, nurses and staff consistently put patient safety and quality first. Being recognized at the national level reinforces the trust our community places in us.”
The selections are based on results from Leapfrog’s annual hospital survey, which evaluates performance across key areas such as infection prevention, maternity care, surgical safety, error prevention, ethical billing practices and informed consent.
