December 15, 2025- The Leapfrog Group announced the 2025 recipients for their annual Top Hospital Award and Top Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) Award. This national recognition is one of the most competitive honors U.S. hospitals and surgery centers can earn for excellence in patient safety and quality of care. Selected hospitals and ASCs will be celebrated December 15 as part of Leapfrog’s 2025 Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner.
A total of 156 hospitals earned the 2025 Top Hospital Award, including:
- 15 Top Children’s Hospitals,
- 52 Top General Hospitals,
- 16 Top Rural Hospitals, and
- 73 Top Teaching Hospitals.
Compared to 2024, there is a 16 percent increase in hospitals earning this year’s award. A few key reasons include improved hospital performance on billing ethics and informed consent, improved hospital performance on Leapfrog’s nurse staffing measures and a record number of hospitals participating in the 2025 Leapfrog Hospital Survey, representing 80% of inpatient beds in the U.S.
