SOUTH MIAMI, Fla. (July 28, 2026) — Larkin Community Hospital has earned the Leapfrog Full Transparency Badge, recognizing the hospital's commitment to publicly reporting information about patient safety and quality through the annual Leapfrog Hospital Survey.

The Full Transparency Badge is awarded to hospitals that complete, affirm, and submit all sections of the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, one of the nation's leading voluntary reporting programs focused on patient safety, quality, and transparency.

"Our patients and their families deserve to know exactly how we perform," said Nicholas D. Torres, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, 
Chief Executive Officer of Larkin Community Hospital. "Reporting our results in full is how we hold ourselves accountable to the South Miami community and how we get better every year. We are honored to be recognized for that commitment."

Larkin Community Hospital is an acute care teaching hospital that has served South Miami and the greater Miami-Dade community for decades. As one of Florida's largest statutory teaching hospitals, Larkin trains physicians across dozens of specialties while delivering a full continuum of inpatient and outpatient care, including services offered through the Miami Neuroscience Center at Larkin, the Multispecialty Outpatient Clinic at Larkin, and the Cancer Center at Larkin.

Larkin has a long-standing record of performance in Leapfrog's programs, including "A" grades in the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade. Full participation in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey reflects the hospital's belief that measurement and public reporting, carried out in an educational environment where the next generation of physicians is trained, are essential to safer, higher-quality care.

"We applaud Larkin Community Hospital for its commitment to transparency," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "Transparency is one of the most powerful drivers of improvement in health care. By fully participating in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, Larkin Community Hospital is helping patients and families access meaningful information about the safety and quality of
their care."
