AdventHealth Murray earns 2024 Leapfrog Top Hospital Award for Outstanding Quality and Safety

Highlighting its nationally recognized achievements in patient safety and quality, AdventHealth Murray was named a Top General Hospital by The Leapfrog Group. The Leapfrog Top Hospital award is widely acknowledged as one of the most competitive awards American hospitals can receive.

The Top Hospital designation is bestowed by The Leapfrog Group, a national watchdog organization of employers and other purchasers known as the toughest standard-setters for health care safety and quality.

"We are incredibly honored to receive the 2024 Leapfrog Top General Hospital Award,” said Chris Self, president and CEO of AdventHealth Murray and AdventHealth Gordon. “This recognition is a testament to the unwavering dedication and hard work of our entire team. We will continue to strive for excellence at AdventHealth Murray and provide the best possible care for our community."

Nearly 2,400 hospitals were considered for the award, with only 134 selected, placing AdventHealth Murray among the top 6% of hospitals in the United States.

The quality of patient care across many areas of hospital performance is considered in establishing the qualifications for the award, including infection rates, practices for safer surgery, maternity care and the hospital’s capacity to prevent medication errors. The rigorous standards are defined in each year’s Top Hospital Methodology.

To qualify for the distinction, hospitals must rank top among peers on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, which assesses hospital performance on the highest standards for quality and patient safety, and achieve top performance in their category.
