Each hospital is graded A through D on infections, problems with surgery, safety problems, practice to prevent errors, and doctors/nurses/hospital staff.

Maryland has seven hospitals that were graded an A by the Leapfrog study, and two that were given Ds.

The safest hospitals according to the study are:

  • Anne Arundel Medical Center
  • Garrett Regional Medical Center
  • MedStar St. Mary's Hospital
  • Mercy Medical Center
  • The Johns Hopkins Hospital
  • University of Maryland Shore Medical Center at Easton
  • University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center

The hospitals that earned Ds are University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center.

Editor's note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that University of Maryland Shore Medical Center at Chestertown, however, the hospital was not graded.
