Methodist Mansfield gets 'A' grade

Methodist Mansfield Medical Center continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to quality, safety and compassionate care, earning multiple prestigious recognitions that highlight the strength of its physicians, nurses and care teams.

The hospital has once again received an “A” grade from The Leapfrog Group for the Spring 2026 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade—marking consecutive top honors for patient safety. This distinction reflects the organization’s steadfast dedication to providing the highest level of care and maintaining rigorous safety standards for every patient served.

In addition, Methodist Mansfield was honored by the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council during its annual awards luncheon, themed “Be Extraordinary,” which drew more than 700 healthcare leaders from across the region. Among 14 distinguished recipients, two Methodist Mansfield team members were recognized for their exceptional contributions:

Nancy Georgekutty, MD, was named Physician of the Year, honoring her clinical excellence and leadership.

Sarah Birdwell, nurse extern, received the Rex McRae Scholarship, recognizing her dedication and promise in the nursing profession.

Further reinforcing its commitment to excellence, Methodist Mansfield’s Wound Center earned the Healogics Center of Distinction Award, a recognition achieved through consistently high performance and measurable outcomes. The hospital met and exceeded key benchmarks, including patient satisfaction scores of 92 percent or higher, wound-adjusted healing rates of 77 percent or greater, and maintaining an outlier rate below 16 percent — an accomplishment that reflects both clinical expertise and disciplined care.

Additionally, Mansfield Medical Center has once again been named Best Hospital in Arlington by the readers of Arlington Today, marking the sixth consecutive year the hospital has earned this community-driven honor.

The annual readers’ choice awards reflect the voices of local residents, making this recognition especially meaningful as it represents the continued trust and confidence of the Arlington community.
