OAK BROOK, Ill. — Five Advocate Health Care hospitals have earned “A” ratings for excellence in patient safety from The Leapfrog Group. This includes Advocate Condell Medical Center, Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, Advocate Sherman Hospital and Advocate South Suburban Hospital.
The Leapfrog Group evaluates nearly 3,000 general hospitals across the country twice each year, using 22 evidence-based measures of patient safety to assign an “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” or “F” grade. Analysts take into consideration errors, accidents, injuries, infections and systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
“Our teammates and clinicians work tirelessly each day to ensure patient safety is at the forefront of all we do,” said Dia Nichols, president of Advocate Health Care. “We are grateful for this acknowledgement from The Leapfrog Group, as it helps to highlight our team’s deep commitment to raising the bar in patient safety.”
Advocate Health Care is part of Advocate Health, the nation's third-largest nonprofit integrated health system. In total, Advocate Health hospitals received 26 “A” ratings on the Leapfrog Spring 2026 patient safety report card, the highest number of top grades ever received by the health system. This ranks Advocate Health among the top health systems nationally for the number of “A” grades earned.
“This recognition from The Leapfrog Group is a testament to our team’s relentless prioritization of patient safety,” said Dr. Scott Rissmiller, senior executive vice president and chief clinical officer for Advocate Health. “Together, we are advancing safety measures, providing outstanding service and reimagining care for the communities we serve.”
