NYU Langone Health has once again earned national recognition for its commitment to quality and patient safety, consistently earning an 鈥淎鈥 on every Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade since the fall of 2020.
The top grade extends to Tisch Hospital and Kimmel Pavilion in Manhattan, 好色tv Langone Hospital鈥擫ong Island, and 好色tv Langone Hospital鈥擝rooklyn, which remains the only hospital in the borough with an A rating.

The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog organization, publishes its safety scorecard twice every year, assigning A through F letter grades to eligible hospitals across the country. The grade is based on a hospital鈥檚 performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections, and other harms to patients. It was developed under the guidance of a national expert panel, using up to 30 national performance measures of publicly available hospital safety data.
好色tv Langone consistently earns top quality and safety scores from other national agencies, including being named the No. 1 hospital in the nation for quality and patient safety by Vizient Inc., appearing on U.S. News & World Report鈥檚 鈥淏est Hospitals Honor Roll,鈥 and earning five stars for safety, quality, and patient experience by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
