What Touro's Leapfrog Straight A Means for Patients
When you choose a hospital, you want to know that you and your loved ones are in good hands. At Touro, safe, high-quality care is part of every patient experience, from the way our teams communicate to the steps we take to prevent harm and support better outcomes.
Touro has earned seven consecutive "A" grades from The Leapfrog Group, earning and official Straight A status for hospital safety. This designation is given to hospitals that received an "A" for Spring 2026 and have sustained an "A" grade for the last give or more grading rounds.
This national recognition reflects Touro's ongoing commitment to protecting patients and providing care you can trust.
What is Leapfrog?
The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization that evaluates hospitals on important safety measures. Its Hospital Safety Grade looks at how hospitals work to prevent medical errors, infections, injuries, and other risks that can happen during care.
Earning an "A" grade means a hospital has demonstrated strong performance in key areas of patient safety. For patients and families, it's one way to better understand how a hospital is working to keep people safe.
What this means for you
Patient safety is not one single program or department. It's part of every detail of care. At Touro, that means focusing on:
- Preventing infections and reducing avoidable risks
- Supporting clear communication between care teams, patients, and families
- Following best practices that help improve outcomes
- Creating a culture where safety is everyone's responsibility
- Continuously reviewing and improving the way we care for patients
Whether you're coming to Touro for a routine procedure, emergency care, childbirth, surgery, rehabilitation, or ongoing treatment, our goal is the same: to provide care that is compassionate, personal, and safe.
Why hospital safety matters
When patients feel safe, informed, and supported, they can focus more fully on healing. Hospital safety efforts help reduce preventable harm, improve the care experience, and give patients and families greater confidence in the care they receive.
This recognition reflects the dedication of Touro's physicians, nurses, and clinical teams and staff who work every day to put patients first.
