Orlando Health Health Central and Horizon West hospitals receive 'A' ratings

All Orlando Health legacy hospitals — including West Orange County's Health Central,  Dr. P. Phillips and Horizon West hospitals — have received "A" ratings from the Leapfrog Group, an independent nonprofit organization committed to driving quality, safety and transparency in the United States health system. 

Orlando Health's Orlando Regional Medical Center, South Lake and South Seminole hospitals also earned "A" grades for patient safety in the fall 2024 reporting period.

This marks the thirteenth consecutive "A" grade for Orlando Health South Lake and the seventh "A" grade in a row for the ORMC and Dr. P. Phillips hospitals. 

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program exclusively based on hospital prevention of medical errors, infections and injuries that cause more than 500 mortalities a day nationally. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. 

“The ‘A’ grades reflect our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality health care for our patients,” said George Ralls, chief medical officer for Orlando Health. “In keeping with our mission to improve the health and quality of life of the individuals and communities we serve, we will continue to strive towards achieving ‘A’ grades at every Orlando Health hospital.”
