HOWELL, Mich. (Dec. 17, 2024) – Trinity Health Livingston has been named a Top Teaching Hospital by The Leapfrog Group for the Fall of 2024. The Leapfrog Group’s “Top Hospital” awards are widely acknowledged as being among the most competitive awards that American hospitals can receive.

This follows Trinity Health Livingston being awarded an “A” grade for The Leapfrog Group’s 2024 Fall Scorecard.

“Achieving a Top Teaching Hospital award is a great honor, and a testament to the exceptional training environment we provide for future physicians,” said John O’Malley, president of Trinity Health Livingston and Trinity Health Medical Center — Brighton. “We constantly strive to provide the highest quality of care possible for our patients, and that cannot be accomplished without educating future physicians who will elevate the quality of care at Trinity Health Livingston, uphold our values, and transform the future of medicine.”

Nearly 2,400 hospitals were considered for a Top Hospital award, with only 112 being selected, including:
•    8 Top Children’s
•    28 Top General
•    7 Top Rural
•    69 Top Teaching

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

"Protecting patients from preventable harm is central to The Leapfrog Group’s mission," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "Trinity Health Livingston has set the standard for patient safety, earning the prestigious distinction of a Top Hospital. This elite honor reflects the exceptional efforts of the entire team and places Trinity Health Livingston among the nation's elite in health care. Congratulations to all who made this remarkable achievement possible."

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.
