The football teams from Marshwood of South Berwick and York High Schools will face each other for the fourth time in two years Saturday, this time, for a spot in the Western Maine Class B regional title game next weekend.

Another area team, Wells, is also in the hunt for a berth in the regionals facing Spruce Moun-tain in Western Maine Class C action. The Warriors finished the regular season with a 6-2 record, ranked second in Class C. The Phoenix stand at 7-2 following

a 42-13 quarterfinals win over Freeport last week. Wells had a bye last week.

This season York beat the Hawks in the final regular season game for both teams, earning the No 2 seed in the post-season play-offs, while denying Marshwood that spot.

Both teams bring 7-2 records into the 1:30 p.m. game at the York High School field, the Wild-cats are seeking their eighth win in row since opening the cam-paign with two losses. Marsh-wood lost its regular season finale to York, but was dominant in last

SOUTH BERWICK - On Monday, Nov. 11 from

1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m., Berwick Academy will hold its First Annual Veterans Day Celebra-tion throughout the schools campus.

The program attendees will include Berwick Academy students, faculty and invited vet-erans.

The event will be held in two different locations, out-door at the flagpole and indoor in the Athletics Center. For the outdoor portion, there will be a poetry reading by Abby Moore, taps by a bugler, a color guard, and the singing of the National Anthem by Sarah Kahn .

The indoor portion will feature recognition of veterans and remarks from the Head of School, Greg Schneider, poetry readings by Berwick students,

Written by Ethan BukowiecStaff WriterNORTH BERWICK

When Philip McGonagle is asked about his 21-month tour of duty during World War II, a sin-cere fondness is seen in his sky blue eyes.

That same fondness is seen when he is asked about Domi-nic Dick Paul, with whom he served those 21 months with in the 44th Field Hospital unit stationed in Burma from 1944 to 1946.

McGonagle was able to re-unite with his old friend after 68 years had passed since the two left Burma and returned stateside. On August, 20, McGonagle, accom-panied by his wife and daughter, drove up to St. Johnsbury, Vt. to meet Paul and his wife and son. The two World War II veterans sat for two to three hours at a res-taurant looking at old pictures and catching up.

It was very emotional, McGonagle recalls of the reunion. You have to figure that out of all the guys that I wrote to and he wrote to after the war, we were the only ones alive that we knew of.

While it had been such a long time since McGonagle and Paul had last seen each other, the two men picked up right where

Dominic Dick Paul (left) and Philip McGonagle (right), who had not seen each other since they served as hospital technicians in World War II, were reunited in St. Johnsbury, Vt. in August. (photo courtesy Kathy Spencer)

Soldiers Reunite After 68 Yearsthey left off in Burma. Working as surgical technicians in the operat-ing room, McGonagle and Paul had seen a lot together and de-veloped a close bond that wasnt easily matched by the other rela-tionships they formed overseas.

The majority of us O.R. Techs hung around together, and

Dick and I were just really close, said McGonagle.

The Malden, Mass. native went to Army medical school to be a hospital technician, and that is where he met Paul, a native of Rutland, Vt. who was a pre-med student at the University of Ver-mont before being assigned to the

the 44th Field Hospital. Being a medical student, Paul knew his way around the operating room and helped McGonagle learn the tricks of the trade.

McGonagle has nothing but praise for Paul, saying that the Vermonter was a really smart, sharp fellow.

He was the only guy I know who had done a couple of op-erations on his own, said McG-onagle as he chuckled at his own solo surgical attempts. I had only done a small one on my own.

The two had a few scares while in Burma, including the time Paul was shot by an enemy in the lower spine, but they made it home unscathed. Remember-ing the beauty of the country, the

humbling Himalayas and the at-tractive Burmese nurses, a boyish smile lights up McGonagles friendly blue eyes.

After their tour of duty was finished, McGonagle returned to Medford, Mass., where he went to X-Ray school at Massachusetts General Hospital and later joined the Fire Department in Malden. He has been retired for the past 24 years and moved to North Berwick with his wife Mary over seven years ago.

Paul, went back to Rutland, Vt., and moved on from a medical career to become a school teacher and an eventual assistant super-intendent in the Rutland City Schools Department.

While it was only a brief time that McGonagle spent with

music from the Granite State Choral Society, and a prayer for our military by Moore. Three guest veterans will also speak: Vietnam War veteran, Major General Edward Crowley; First Gulf War veteran, Captain John Crowley; Afghanistan War vet-eran, Colonel Shawn OBrien.

Berwick Academy student Kevin ODay initiated this event based on his 2012 Innovation Center Project for which he re-searched the history of Veterans Day. Through this research, ODay realized that the School did not have a traditional cel-ebration for Veterans Day. Ber-wick is also one of the schools in the area that is in session on this day and ODay saw this as a great opportunity for the Ber-wick community to honor our veterans and the service that they have performed for our country.

STOMACH ISSUES ARE

AWFULIBS, Constipation, Bloating,

Gassy, Crohns, Colitis,Weight Issues, Heart Burn

YOU DONT HAVE TO LIVE THIS WAY!Come to my STOMACH / COLON HEALING WORKSHOP

A Personal Note From Dr. Donatello:

Are you afraid to leave your house most days? Do you limit certain foods and still suffer? Has your family, work and social life been affected and you have been told you must learn to live with it? I know what many of you are feeling because I have been there myself. Before I studied clinical nutrition, I was just like many of you. If I ate the wrong food, I paid dearly for it. As a runner, I cant even begin to tell you how many times I ran into the woods in panic looking for the nearest tree. The medical community never seemed to have an answer as even the drugs had bad side effects I wasnt willing to risk. So I was left to my own de-vices, thinking I had to suffer with IBS for the rest of my life. Little did I know just how easy it was to fix. If I had the knowledge I have now, I would not have suffered for years. Many of you are in this same boat, mainly because you have never been tested properly when it comes to the cause of your bowel issues. There are common foods that react very differently to each and every individual. If you have food issues, you MUST KNOW which foods may be causing reactions. Do you have par-asites, yeast infections or undergrowth of the good bugs your intestines need to be healthy? The real answer is: You dont know until you run the tests. ~ Dr. Jeff Donatello

What Our Patients Are SayingI had severe stomach pain after most meals and recently started bleeding. My job at the Shipyard was becoming more and more difficult because I was in the bathroom all day. How do you explain

this to a boss? I came to Dr. Donatellos talk last March and within one month my symptoms were 90% better. And it was all because of food sensitivities and a parasite he found with special tests. I would definitely recommend his care. ~ Jason, Kittery, ME

My doctor kept saying I had IBS but he didnt really know what was causing it. Within two weeks with Dr. Donatello, I was not constipated anymore and the bloating was gone right off the bat. I have lost 25 lbs. and have energy I never had before. This program really works. ~ Karen, Portsmouth, NH

I am only 29 years of age and was tired all the time. If I ate the wrong thing, I paid for it dearly, and it was affecting my job as a salesperson at a local auto sales company. After three months of working with Dr. Donatello, I am 100% back to normal. I have great energy and I was just promoted to sales manager. I am also off all my medication. ~ Chad, Portsmouth, NH

I am a professor of Physics at UNH and had severe IBS for years. I researched it like crazy and tried just about everything I could to stop the chronic cramping and diarrhea. Within three weeks, Dr. Donatello was onto my problem. It is now 6 months later and I am regular without pain, like I was before all these problems happened five years ago. I thank God I went to his talk. You should go see what he has to say. ~ Brian, Durham, NH

Dr. Jeff DonatelloD.C, C.N.S,C.F.M.PCertified Nutrition Specialist Certified Functional Medicine Specialist Chiropractic Physician

Topics to be discussed: What two tests MDs do not run that may answer the question as to why you have this condition. How this clinically-proven program heals your intestines without drugs. The three foods that are the culprit 90% of the time. The connection between energy, sleep and the foods you eat. What new lab tests are now available to identify the true cause of bowel problems. Genetically-modified foods and how they effect your bowels and brain (yes, your brain). Question and answer session with Dr. Donatello.

CAPE NEDDICK - For almost 20 years, the

Cape Neddick River Associa-tion (CNRA) has been sound-ing the alarm about critical water quality issues at the Cape Neddick Beach and River. Last summer, more residents and tourists became aware of the se-riousness of these issues when the Town posted a warning about high bacteria counts near the beach. After heavy rain-storms, high bacteria counts in the River and along the Beach make these waters unsafe for human contact.

While the town is making progress in identifying failing septic systems, a substantial source of bacteria in the water, the CNRA is looking for area residents to get involved in grassroots activities. A meet-ing is scheduled for Wednes-day, Nov. 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the York Senior Center, behind the police station.

Representatives from the Town and FB Environmen-tal will cover progress to date and an action plan for moving forward based on the recently

completed watershed manage-ment plan.

The CNRA will be advo-cating for actions including a new port-a-potty and lifeguard at the Cape Neddick Beach; more frequent water testing and posting, increasing veg-etative buffers and other criti-

cal issues. Attendees will have the opportunity to become in-volved with activities involving public education, communica-tion, and water testing, among others.

For more information, please visit www.capeneddick-river.org or email [email protected].

Paul, his friend was never far from his mind.

We tried many times to get together, but it never seemed to click. said McGonagle. I just kept thinking I gotta get to him before I die.

Knowing that they are two of the few living World War II vet-erans that they know of, the meet-ing between McGonagle and Paul was that much more meaningful.

I know I had a tear hanging in my eye, recalled McGonagle.

It may have taken the men a lifetime to be reunited, but just a two or three hour meeting speaks volumes about the bonds that are made and the brotherhoods that are formed when fighting for ones country.

need and deserve. Our commit-ment to them, however, remains only partially fulfilled. No veteran should have to live on the streets of a country they defended. No veteran should have to endure a lengthy backlog to receive the ben-efits that they earned. All veterans deserve only the highest quality of care and support that our country can offer them because they fought and still fight for the ideals that we hold most dear.

In Maine and around the country, we value the veterans who continue to serve our nation as civilians. Veterans play a key role in our communities: they are often our teachers, our firefighters, our lawyers, our mentors, and our friends. They are people bound together by an ethic of selfless ser-vice, dedicated to building the free and just America for which they so nobly fought.

We honor the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice, those who returned safely to our shores, and future generations of veterans to whom we must rededicate our-selves. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coastguardsmen put their lives on the line for our country each day. They, and the generations of Americans who have proudly worn the uniform before them, deserve the unwaver-ing support of a grateful nation.

debt of honor that we owe to them and to their families. On battle-fields from Bunker Hill to Bagh-dad and Kandahar, their extraor-dinary efforts and selfless sacrifice exemplify the best of America: strength, loyalty, and unwavering dedication to the welfare of others. It is also important to remember that we remain a nation at war, and today there are tens of thou-sands of service men and women

serving in Afghanistan and other places far from American shores. This and every day, I am thankful for their service and am commit-ted to supporting them and their families.

Veterans have a special place in Maine. Per capita, our states veteran population ranks among the very highest in the country. We treat our veterans with respect and invest in the services that they

Ending Hunger Walking Tour

Visits York County Food

PantriesWELLS -

On Nov. 4, the 12th Annual Maine Credit Unions Ending Hunger Walking Tour began de-livering contributions to food pan-tries in communities across York County, including a stop in Wells.

Brenda Davis, one of the states leading ending hunger ad-vocates, has been partnering with Maines credit unions to coordi-nate the Ending Hunger Walking Tour for the past twelve years.

The purpose of the Walk is to raise awareness and distribute some of the statewide funds raised by the Maine Credit Unions Cam-paign for Ending Hunger. In 2012, the Maine Credit Unions Cam-paign for Ending Hunger raised a record-setting $471,000 and has raised more than $4.8 million since 1990.

In York County, the Tour stopped in Arundel, Biddeford, Buxton, Kennebunk, Kittery, Saco, Sanford, Waterboro, Wells and York. Checks were presented to a food pantry at each stop. Each check purchases approximately $1,500 in food through the Good Shepherd Food Bank. Food pan-tries receiving a contribution include Arundel Food Pantry in Arundel; Bon Appetite Meal Program in Biddeford; Buxton Community Cupboard in Buxton; West Kennebunk United Method-ist Church Food Pantry in Ken-nebunk; Foot Prints Food Pantry in Kittery; Saco Food Pantry in Saco; York County Food Rescue Program in Sanford; Food for Life St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Waterboro Center; Soups On in Wells; and York Community Food Pantry in York.

This years Tour will be vis-iting the most communities, and covering the most miles in its his-tory. The Walk is expected to en-compass more than 1,500 miles, with approximately 750 of that on foot, and visit a record-setting 80 communities from Kittery to Madawaska. The Tour will visit every Maine county for the eighth consecutive year. In addition to contributing funds to Davis food pantry, which is one of the larg-est in Eastern Maine, the Maine Credit Unions Campaign for Ending Hunger will contribute to a food pantry in each of the 80 communities that the Tour visits

The Walk will conclude with a ceremony at Bangor FCU in Bangor on Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Since 1990, the Maine Credit Unions Campaign for Ending Hunger has raised over $4.8 mil-lion to help end hunger in Maine. 100 Percent of all funds raised go directly to the cause of ending hunger and stay in Maine.

of offering world-class education to our local and national eques-trians. We are delighted to con-tinue our partnership with him.

Milkins first began his work with the RDA (Riding for the Disabled) in the late 1980s after volunteering at Moreton Hall Group while at Warwick-shire College. He was the train-er for the British team at the 1990 World Championship and Games for disabled riders. He has since coached riders com-peting at Paralympic Games (Athens, Beijing and London), the European Championships and World Championships. Clive excels in working with Para Equestrians and addition-ally enjoys coaching able-bodied riders in dressage and jumping as well. Milkins has been nomi-nated for numerous awards since his career began: Groom of the Year, 2005; The Queens Award for Equestrianism, awarded for Outstanding Services to Eques-trianism; and the Kuster BEF Groom of the Year in 2006.

Clive is that rare combi-nation of technical excellence, international experience at the highest levels of he sport, and has an incredible positive atti-tude that relates well. He con-nects readily with the athletes and their horses, inspiring them to achieve greater goals than they thought were possible. This is an exciting partnership for us. Armentrout said.

Milkins field of specialty is Para Equestrian Dressage, which was developed in Scan-dinavia and Great Britain in the 1970s and is the only equestrian discipline that is included in the Paralympic Games, where it has been a regular fixture since 1996. It is a sport based on the concept of creating equal op-portunities for all athletes with physical disabilities to compete and achieve their goals based on a classification system accord-ing to the level of their disabil-ity/impairment so as to provide for meaningful competition. In 2006, the Para-Equestrian sport joined the ranks of the other seven disciplines regulated by

lisle with additional sponsorship by the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), the United States Para Equestrian Associa-tion (USPEA) and SmartPak.

We had an overwhelm-ingly positive response to Clives first visit here and found him to be an invaluable resource to our programming, Carlisle Acad-emy Integrative Equine Therapy & Sports Head of School Sarah Armentrout said. He is dis-tinctly in synch with our goals

public and auditors are welcome.Milkins most recently

coached British Para Dressage Grade 1A rider Sophie Chris-tiansen to three Paralympic gold medals in London in 2012, as well as to World and European Championship titles. Milkins first visited Maine this past spring as a featured and well-received clinician for the first joint United States National Para Dressage Symposium, a collaboration organized by Car-

LYMAN -Carlisle Academy Integra-

tive Equine Therapy & Sports, a premier organization offer-ing comprehensive equestrian educational services, is proud to offer Clive Milkins, the gold medal Paralympic coach from

the international governing body the Federation Equestrian Inter-natlionale (FEI).

Our background was ini-tially in the realm of therapeutic riding, but we saw a clear oppor-tunity to add Para Equestrian sport as well to our curriculum, to give our riders a foundation to help them work toward the highest competitive levels of the sport, Armentrout said. Carlisle Academy was recently named the Educational Partner for the USPEA and has dedicated re-

sources to help expand the pro-gram.

Armentrout continued to say the sport has seen the infu-sion of new athletes from our armed forces as well. Carlisle has offered programming for veterans since 2008 and has ex-panded its program to offer free services through the Wounded Warrior Project.

Specific dates of Milkins residency include November 15-17 and again Nov. 25-27. Lessons will be offered in Para Dressage, dressage and jumping. The day lesson rate is $175, or a

three-day clinic rate $500. Both options include and one-hour private lesson each day, auditing and lunch lectures. Scholarships are available through Carlisle Academys charitable partner, the Carlisle Charitable Founda-tion.

A Sweet Deal for York Hospital Breast Cancer

PatientsYORK -

For the month of Novem-ber, Anthonys Food Shop will donate $2 for every pink lemon-ade cupcake sold to York Hos-pitals Breast Cancer Living Well Fund.

The cupcakes, created by Baker Sabrina Banton, are a one-of-a-kind cupcake that the bakery made special for - and donated to - The Pink Carpet event on Nov. 7, and store owner Mark Graziano wanted to do more.

York Hospital is a great community partner and provides needed services for so many of our friends, neighbors and cus-tomers. We thought about what else we could do and came up with the idea to sell these spe-cial cupcakes in the store, he said. We decided to keep the special pink lemonade cupcake on the menu through the end of November, at which time a do-nation will be made. If we can make a difference for patients, that will make us happy!

Since 1990, Anthonys Food Shop has served its cus-tomers with the very best take-out offerings using only the finest meats, cheeses, and ingre-dients. With its signature over-stuffed deli sandwiches, in house scratch bakery, and brick oven pizza, Anthonys has become a must stop for locals and travel-ers on US Route 1 in York.

To purchase a cupcake, visit Anthonys Food Shop at 679 US Route 1 in York, Maine. For more information, call 207-363-2322 or visit anthonysfoodshop.com.

PORTLAND - With holiday supplies al-

ready covering the store shelves, Portland individuals, families, churches and groups are work-ing to make Christmas a reality for needy kids around the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items and notes of encouragement. Operation Christmas Child, the worlds largest Christmas project of its kind, is ramping up as Portland residents pre-pare to collect gift-filled shoe-boxes during National Collec-tion Week from Nov. 18 to 25.

It is the first year local Portland area residents will be able to drop off their gift-filled shoeboxes a to send to a child overseas. Then using what-ever means necessarytrucks, trains, boats, bikes and even elephantsthe shoebox gifts will be delivered to children worldwide. For many children, the shoebox gift will be the first gift they have ever received.

Residents in the York County area can contribute to Operation Christmas Child by donating gifts at the Bethel Christian Church in North Berwick. The operating hours for the collection site will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Nov. 18 to Nov. 22, 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Nov. 23, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 24 and 10 a.m. to noon on Nov. 25.

Though the shoebox gifts will often travel thousands of

miles, Operation Christmas Child offers a way for par-ticipants to follow their box by using the donation form found at samaritanspurse.org. Donors will receive an email telling the country where their shoeboxes are delivered.

Operation Christmas Child has collected and deliv-ered more than 100 million shoebox gifts to suffering chil-dren in more than 100 coun-tries since 1993. Celebrating its

20th anniversary, Operation Christmas Child hopes to col-lect another 9.8 million gift-filled shoeboxes in 2013. Oper-ation Christmas Child is a proj-

YORK - On Nov. 19 at 6:30 p.m.,

York Middle School students will present their historical study of the Piscataqua River region titled Understanding Change: A Historical Study of the South Berwick and Piscataqua Region at the York Public Library.

Knowledge of the history of a place in which we live can tell us not only about where we came from, but also hint at where we are headed as a culture. 63 York Middle School students, mem-bers of the sixth grade Jaguar team, have been looking at the span of 200 years - dating from the late 1700s into the early 20th century. With the guidance of instructor Tony Beaumier, these budding historians have been

working with several area histo-rians, Dr. Neil DePaoli, archae-

ologist, and staff members from Historic New England and Old Berwick Historical Society.

Their study of the past of the Piscataqua River region has brought them to earlier times that have shaped our regional culture today. Some of the many topics include Wabanaki cul-tures, early Anglo settlers, local archaeological digs, New Eng-land Maritime Economy, Jeffer-sons Embargo and the War of 1812.

Gundalows, New England agriculture in the 1800s, mills on the river, Colonial revival era, and Sarah Orne Jewett are his-torical elements that also enrich their understanding of how we came to be where we are in our modern era. The focus of this re-search has been to discover how constant change affects local his-tory. Researching Piscataquas rich heritage allows students to envision its future.

tickets and more will take place at Kennebunk High School on Nov. 16 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. FMI: call 207-967-3143.

Library want to transform the former choir loft into a cozy reading and study area above the stacks. Kennebunk Sav-ings Bank has made a $2,500 challenge grant to the $20,000 project, and a private donor has put up a $5,000 challenge to be matched dollar for dollar.

As a teacher, I know the importance of reading to our children to help make them readers. It is vital to finish our library, said Maggie Skafidas, who is helping plan the event. As an adult, I look forward to curling up with a good book in the balcony as soon as its com-pleted.

The celebration will fea-ture the music of Ben Baldwin and his a cappella group, The Stairwells, whom he describes as a merry band of teachers, Shipyard workers and artists -- people who love to sing together all styles of music. There also will be a humorous reading by Library Director Karen Eger.

Chef James Haller has donated an intimate dinner for four to be auctioned off that eve-

SOUTH BERWICK - It will take another $12,500

to finish the balcony in the new South Berwick Public Library, and fundraisers hope to reach that goal at a Rally for the Bal-cony from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sat-

A year after the open-ing of the librarys Great Hall, the Friends of South Berwick

ning, along with homemade pies and groupings of wine, beer and champagne donated by local li-brary supporters. Light refresh-ments and beverages will be provided by Spring Hill Restau-rant. Other event sponsors are Wentworth-Douglass Hospital and Civil Consultants.

The event also will cele-brate the Friends recently cross-ing the $900,000 mark in their $1.1 million fundraising effort. As more funds come into the campaign, other work will be done to complete the new Li-brary.

Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door, and are avail-able at the Library or at www.FriendsofSouthBerwickLibrary.org. For more information, con-tact Cari Quater at [email protected].

York Middle Schoolers will present their study of the Piscataqua River Region at the York Public Library on Nov. 19. The students have worked with members of the New England and Old Berwick Historical Society to learn of the cultural enrichment of the land.

When colder weather sets in, some people abandon their outdoor fitness routines for the comfort of indoor gyms and home exercise equipment. How-ever, walking in the winter and even jogging, when practical, are not limited to the warmer months of the year. Outdoor conditions can be a bit treach-erous, so safety and common sense should always prevail.

While winter walking is a good way to warm up and get in a workout, it requires different footwear than regular walking shoes. The correct footwear will provide support, warmth and traction for traversing various

conditions. Start by choosing foot-

wear that is warm. Certain boots and booties will have a lining that improves heat retention. Wear warm socks and waterproof or water-resis-tant shoes. They will protect against wet, chilled feet if you come across slushy puddles along the way. Although wet feet might be merely an in-convenience other times of the year, in very cold tempera-tures, a cold and wet body can be susceptible to hypothermia and even frostbite.

Look for shoes that have a

York Hospital Awarded A Grade by Hospital Safety ScoreYORK -

York Hospital was recent-ly honored with an A grade in the Fall 2013 update to the Hospital Safety Score, which rates how well hospitals protect patients from accidents, errors, injuries and infections. The Hospital Safety Score is com-piled under the guidance of the nations leading experts on pa-tient safety and is administered by The Leapfrog Group, an in-dependent industry watchdog. The Score is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families. Maine hospitals ranked first in the nation with 80 percent of hospitals scoring an A.

Patient safety is of course a top priority. Our score of A reflects the qual-ity of care we provide to each and every patient, every time, said Dr. Lawrence Petrovich, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Leader for Patient Qual-ity at York Hospital. We have focused efforts on safety at all levels in our organization and we are proud of our staff for achieving the highest score pos-sible. Also, watchdog organiza-tions such as Leapfrog rely on precise data to create these re-ports. Providing accurate data about our patient outcomes will continue to be a priority so that scores reflect the true care we provide, he added.

As patients begin to take a more active role in selecting where to receive health care, it has never been more impor-tant to focus on hospital safety and transparency. The A hos-pitals, including York Hospi-tal, are helping us to raise the standards of health care na-tionwide, said Leah Binder, president and CEO of Leap-frog. We offer our congratula-tions and hope the hospital will continue to strive for an ever-increasing level of excellence in patient safety.

To see York Hospitals scores as they compare na-tionally and locally, and to find safety tips for patients and families, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org. Cal-culated under the guidance of Leapfrogs Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 28 measures of pub-licly available hospital safety data to produce a single A, B, C, D, or F score representing a hospitals over-all capacity to keep patients safe from preventable harm.

More than 2,500 general U.S. hospitals were assigned scores this Fall. A full analysis of the

data and methodology used is avail
