Central Florida’s AdventHealth hospitals earn straight ‘A’ safety grades from The Leapfrog Group

ORLANDO, Fla., May 1, 2025 — All of AdventHealth’s Central Florida hospitals earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.

The “A” grades went to AdventHealth Altamonte Springs; AdventHealth Apopka; AdventHealth Celebration; AdventHealth East Orlando; AdventHealth Kissimmee; AdventHealth Orlando; AdventHealth Winter Garden; and AdventHealth Winter Park.

“Our tenacious pursuit of preeminence extends to all areas of clinical care, and none is more important than our commitment to safety,” said Dr. Victor Herrera, chief clinical officer of AdventHealth’s Central Florida Division. “This Leapfrog recognition is a testament to the clinical expertise delivered through our physicians and all our caregivers.

“Achieving an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade reflects enormous dedication to patient safety,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “I extend my congratulations to AdventHealth, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for creating a culture where patients come first.”

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
