The Leapfrog Group is an independent national watchdog organization committed to health care quality and safety.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from the Leapfrog Group,” said Erika Skula, President and CEO of AdventHealth Carrollwood. “Receiving this “A” award for the 11th semester in a row is not only a testament to our commitment to patient safety and clinical excellence, but also exemplifies how we continuously strive to give our community the care they deserve.”

The Safety Grade assigns an ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ or ‘F’ grade to all general hospitals across the country and is updated every six months. It is based on a hospital’s performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections and other harms to patients in their care.
