New Data Prompts E-Bike Safety Alert
In November 14, Marin County Public Health issued a health advisory prompted by an increase in 911 responses for e-bike accidents, particularly among young people. 71% of bike accidents among residents aged 10-19 years were e-bike related, compared to 12% among adults. To help guide bike safety measure, this week Marin County Public Health launched a new dashboard displaying all 911 responses to bike accidents countywide, which will be updated weekly.
Marin Hospitals Receive Top Grades in Safety
All three Marin County hospitals received A grades from the Leapfrog Group. This week the Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit watchdog group that tracks hospital safety practices and outcomes, released its fall 2023 Hospital Safety Grades. The reflects the dedication of hospital leadership and staff to patient safety. While many hospitals have seen a fall in their grades post-pandemic, Marin hospitals are showing their resilience and ongoing commitment to excellence in patient care.
