Larkin Health System is proud to announce that both Larkin Community Hospital South Miami and Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus have earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for Spring 2026. This national recognition highlights both hospitals’ continued commitment to patient safety, quality care, and protecting patients from preventable harm.

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is a nationally recognized rating that evaluates hospitals on their ability to prevent medical errors, infections, injuries, and accidents. Grades are assigned twice a year and are based on national performance measures reviewed by patient safety experts.

Earning an “A” grade reflects the dedication of our physicians, nurses, clinical teams, leadership, and support staff who work every day to provide safe, high-quality care to the communities we serve. This achievement is a direct result of teamwork, accountability, and a shared commitment to excellence across Larkin Health System.

What This Means for Our Patients

For patients and families, an “A” Hospital Safety Grade represents confidence, trust, and peace of mind. It means that Larkin Community Hospital South Miami and Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus continue to meet high standards in areas that matter most, including infection prevention, patient safety practices, communication, and quality care.

This recognition is more than a grade, it is a reflection of the people behind the care. Every nurse, physician, therapist, technician, housekeeper, pharmacist, leader, and team member plays a role in keeping our patients safe.

A Message of Appreciation

“This achievement reflects the dedication, teamwork, and commitment of our entire Larkin family. Patient safety is at the heart of everything we do, and we are proud to see both of our hospitals recognized with an ‘A’ grade.”
