The Leapfrog Group’s Spring 2026 Hospital Safety Grades are a biannual ranking that assigns “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” letter grades to all general hospitals in the United States based on their ability to protect patients from medical errors, accidents, injuries, and infections.
Leapfrog said its biannual report — the only national ratings program focused exclusively on patient safety — shows improvement in 17 measures, including health care-associated infections, medication safety systems and patient experience.
Pennsylvania as a whole fell from 8th to 13th in the nation since the last rankings came out in the fall.
In Montgomery, Jefferson Lansdale Hospital received an "A" grade.
