AdventHealth Hendersonville has received an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for the 19th consecutive time, according to an announcement made on November 13, 2025. The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization that evaluates hospitals based on patient safety measures. This recognition places AdventHealth Hendersonville among about 12% of eligible hospitals nationwide that have achieved this distinction and makes it the only hospital in Western North Carolina to earn an “A” grade for five or more grading periods in a row.
Daniel Tryon, President and CEO of AdventHealth Hendersonville, stated, “At AdventHealth whole-person care that ensures every patient’s safety, well-being, and peace of mind is what drives the dedication of our team members every day. Receiving 19 consecutive ‘A’ grades from Leapfrog is more than an honor; it’s evidence of our commitment to Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ and delivering care that puts people first. We are deeply grateful to our caregivers for their unwavering diligence and to our community for placing their trust in us. Your health and wholeness remain at the heart of everything we do.”
The hospital highlighted its efforts in various departments, including The Baby Place at AdventHealth Hendersonville, where staff have implemented new practices aimed at reducing complications after cesarean births. These initiatives focus on supporting mothers’ overall health during recovery.
The Leapfrog Group evaluates hospitals twice a year using over 30 measures related to errors, accidents, injuries, infections, and prevention systems. Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, said: “My sincere congratulations to AdventHealth Hendersonville for upholding patient safety standards through thick and thin, achieving an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade for 19 consecutive rounds of the Safety Grade. Consistently earning an A demonstrates a long-term, organization-wide commitment to putting patient safety first.”
The grading system used by The Leapfrog Group is peer-reviewed and available publicly online.
AdventHealth Orlando is another hospital within the same network as AdventHealth Hendersonville. It was founded in 1908 in Orlando, Florida. Terry Shaw serves as its current president. The hospital includes a pediatric ward and functions as a training facility.
