A South Side hospital has earned an F for safety, while another has clawed its way from an F to an A, according to new ratings from the nonprofit Leapfrog Group. Roseland Community Hospital was the only hospital in Illinois to earn an F this spring. Meanwhile, St. Bernard Hospital and Health Care Center in Englewood earned an A for safety, after getting an F just two years ago. Statewide, about 26% of hospitals earned A's, making Illinois 28th in the country for its percentage of hospitals with top scores — the same ranking as the last time grades were released in the fall.
