HOUSTON (Nov. 25, 2025)
— Harris Health Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital earns an “A" and Harris Health Ben Taub Hospital earns a “B" in the 2025 Fall announcement of Hospital Safety Grades 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 more than 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
“At Harris Health, safety is embedded in everything we do—from standardized daily huddles to rapid response protocols. We focus on consistency, communication and accountability. We track performance data in real time, engage in continuous training, and foster a culture where everyone—from clinicians to support staff—is empowered to speak up about safety," says Glorimar Medina, MD, CEO, Hospital Campuses, Harris Health. “These strong Leapfrog grades for our hospitals reflect the incredible teamwork across all departments and most importantly, they reflect a culture of ownership and commitment to our community. Our patients deserve to receive the highest level of care and to know that they can depend on us to consistently deliver that care. These grades confirm that this is the case."
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.
“Achieving an 'A' Hospital Safety Grade reflects enormous dedication to patient safety," says Leah Binder, president and CEO, The Leapfrog Group. “I extend my congratulations to Harris Health, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for creating a culture where patients come first."
