Wolfson Children’s Hospital named one of the country’s Top Children’s Hospitals by The Leapfrog Group

Today, Wolfson Children’s Hospital was recognized as one of 15 Top Children’s Hospitals in the country by The Leapfrog Group. This is the hospital’s third consecutive year receiving the award, a distinction that recognizes patient safety and quality achievements and is considered one of the nation’s leading pediatric, quality-focused, competitive awards.

The Leapfrog Group is an organization committed to transparency in health care quality and safety. One of their goals is to help make data and information available to parents and caregivers seeking high-quality, safe care for their child.

“To be named one of fifteen Top Children’s Hospitals nationwide by The Leapfrog Group is a tremendous honor and highlights our commitment to delivering top-quality care to every child who comes through our doors,” said Allegra C. Jaros, MBA, president of Wolfson Children’s. “This recognition is a testament to our ongoing work to uphold the highest standards of quality, safety and patient experience, right here in our community.”

The Leapfrog Group’s Top Hospital criteria reflect the same priorities that guide Wolfson Children’s. This year, Wolfson Children’s expanded its quality initiatives and reinforced a culture of safety, continuing to deliver top-quality care across numerous pediatric specialties.

“The Top Hospital Award affirms Wolfson Children’s deep commitment to advancing evidence-based practice, strengthening patient safety and continually elevating the care we provide,” said Jeremy Goodman, MD, MBA, FACHE, senior vice president and system quality officer at Baptist Health. “We’re inspired every day by the children and families we serve, and we are devoted to ensuring outstanding quality and safety for every patient.”

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.
