Whether you are comparing hospitals in your community, evaluating maternity care services or reviewing outcomes for a specific procedure, Leapfrog’s ratings offer an independent, transparent view into how facilities are performing on the measures that matter most.
In 2009, Leapfrog formed the Partners Advisory Committee (PAC), an exclusive group of national and regional health plans, hospital systems and enterprise vendors. These organizations advise Leapfrog on key industry trends and collaborate on a number of partner-driven initiatives.
We’re proud to announce that The Leapfrog Group earned the 2025 Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency, the highest level of recognition from Candid (formerly GuideStar), the leading source for nonprofit data in the U.S.

Last night we lit the candles for the first night of Hannukah.
During Hannukah we Jews remember a great battle won against long odds.
There are rituals to the holiday that allow us to experience and pass along to new generations the memory and joy of that moment in history.
We hosted the 2025 Leapfrog Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner on December 15 at the Gaylord National Harbor just outside of Washington, DC, to celebrate Leapfrog’s 25th anniversary. This event highlighted the transformative impact of transparency on patient safety, bringing together health care leaders, advocates and innovators who have driven progress over the past quarter-century. This special gathering commemorated Leapfrog’s legacy and charted the course for the future of health care.
Every September, health care professionals, advocates and organizations across the country observe Sepsis Awareness Month, a critical time to educate the public and health care providers about one of the most serious but preventable medical emergencies: sepsis.
Designated by Sepsis Alliance in 2011, this month-long campaign urges action to prevent sepsis, improve early recognition and save lives. With 1.7 million Americans affected and more than 350,000 adult lives lost each year, sepsis remains the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals.
This National Nurses Week, we honor the extraordinary work of nurses, not only for the care they provide but for their central role in ensuring patient safety across the country.
April is C-Section Awareness Month, a time to reflect on the rates of cesarean sections (C-sections) and the need for better maternity care practices.
In recognition of Leapfrog’s 25 years of commitment to patient safety, our Board of Directors has generously pledged to match every dollar donated.
As we observe Patient Safety Awareness Week, we are reminded of a startling reality: preventable errors continue to be a leading cause of death and harm in U.S. hospitals. Every day, 500 people die due to medical errors in hospitals that could have been avoided.
Creating a culture of safety is more than following protocols; it’s about fostering an environment in which those protocols are actively integrated into the day-to-day work of health care professionals. "The Pitt," a new medical drama on Max, offers a portrayal of emergency medicine that aligns with many of the challenges and issues around patient safety identified by The Leapfrog Group.
The second week of February marks Sepsis Survivor Week, a time to reflect on the importance of recognizing, preventing and treating sepsis. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that claims over 250,000 lives annually in the U.S. alone, making it one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in hospitals. It can develop from any infection, and when not treated quickly, it can lead to organ failure, amputation or even death.
