Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) East Campus Hospital has been named a Top Teaching Hospital by The Leapfrog Group for the fifth time, and Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) has been named a Top Children’s Hospital for the seventh time in nine years.
Anthony Hilliard, MD, CEO of Loma Linda University Health Hospitals, said the recognition highlights the extraordinary commitment of employees to whole-person care.
“While the accolades are gratifying, what inspires me most is what they represent: employees’ steadfast dedication to our patients, their relentless drive to improve, and the compassion that defines Loma Linda University Health,” said Hilliard. “Every single employee has contributed to this moment, whether they serve at the bedside, support our clinical teams, or keep our operations running with precision.”
Over 2,400 hospitals were considered for the award, and only 156 received the distinction. LLUCH was one of only 15 Top Children’s Hospitals, and LLUMC East Campus was one of the 73 Top Teaching Hospitals selected by The Leapfrog Group.
The Leapfrog Group is an independent national nonprofit watchdog organization that rates hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers on their ability to protect patients from preventable harm, such as accidents, injuries, and infections.
"Loma Linda University Health has distinguished itself through an unwavering focus on safety and quality, earning a place on this year’s list of Top Hospitals,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group.
This recognition reflects a culture of transparency and continuous improvement, one embraced by every member of the organization. We commend the entire team at Loma Linda University Health for reaching this outstanding milestone.
The awards are widely recognized as one of the most competitive awards American Hospitals can receive. To qualify for the distinction, hospitals must rank highly on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, an assessment of hospital performance on standards for quality and patient safety, including infection rates, maternity care, and a hospital’s ability to prevent medication errors, among other standards.
