Holy Redeemer Hospital Recognized for Excellence in Patient Safety

Holy Redeemer Hospital received statewide recognition this month for outstanding performance in patient safety.

The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) recognized only 20 hospitals across the state this year in its 2026 Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition program. The recognition honors Pennsylvania’s top-performing hospitals that have demonstrated low rates of health care-associated infections.

“This recognition is testimony to the priorities of a team that puts safety above all else,” said Krzysztof Stypulkowski, DNP, MBA, RN, Health Care Delivery Patient Safety Officer at Redeemer Health. “Everyone at Holy Redeemer Hospital plays a role in safety, and it’s gratifying to see that many other organizations in Pennsylvania have the same priority.”

The HAP program examined performance from 2025. HAP identifies top-performing hospitals using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network. To be recognized, hospitals must perform better than the mean standardized infection ratio in three key measures: central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and Clostridioides difficile infections.

“Hospitals are unwavering in their commitment to providing safe, high-quality care for the communities they serve,” HAP President and CEO Nicole Stallings said. “HAP is proud to recognize the leading Pennsylvania hospital teams that have embraced continuous quality improvement, strengthened patient safety, and achieved outstanding results through their dedication and hard work.”
