The spring 2025 Leapfrog grades have been released, and four AdventHealth Rocky Mountain Region hospitals have achieved top honors for patient safety!
AdventHealth Avista, Castle Rock, Littleton and Porter have all earned an impressive “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit organization committed to enhancing patient safety. AdventHealth Parker earned a stellar “B” grade. These bi-annual grades are regarded as the benchmark for evaluating patient safety.
- AdventHealth Avista: 13th "A" in a row - Straight “A” Since 2019
- AdventHealth Castle Rock: 2nd “A” in row
- AdventHealth Littleton: 3rd "A" in a row
- AdventHealth Porter: 7th "A" in a row - Straight “A” Since 2022
Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on more than 30 performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
These awards are valued for their role in promoting transparency, accountability, and improvement in healthcare, aiming to enhance patient outcomes.
“Across AdventHealth’s Rocky Mountain Region, we focus on providing safe and high-quality care to every patient. This takes dedication at every level,” says AdventHealth Rocky Mountain Region’s Chief Medical Officer, Devin Bateman, MD. “I am incredibly proud of our teams at Avista, Castle Rock, Littleton, Parker, and Porter for fostering a culture where patient safety always comes 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.
