Advocate Condell Medical Center, Good Shepherd Hospital receive ‘A’ rating in hospital safety grade

OAK BROOK – The Leapfrog Group has awarded Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital and Advocate Condell Medical Center “A” ratings for excellence in patient safety on its Spring 2025 patient safety report card.

Leapfrog analysts use publicly available data to look at 22 safety measures and assign grades based on how well hospitals are doing to protect patients from harm. Measurements include the hospital’s ability to prevent errors, accidents, injuries and infections.

Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades are assigned to almost 3,000 general acute-care hospitals across the nation twice a year.

Along with an “A” rating for Advocate’s two Lake County hospitals, Leapfrog also awarded Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin a top “A” grade.
