Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center Earns 15th Consecutive ‘A’ Grade for Patient Safety

One of Only 16 Hospitals Nationwide to Maintain Straight A’s from Leapfrog since 2018

Annapolis, MD—Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (LHAAMC), the leading hospital serving the Annapolis region, Maryland’s Eastern Shore, and surrounding communities, has earned its 15th consecutive “A” Grade for patient safety from the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade.

LHAAMC remains one of only 16 hospitals nationwide, and the only hospital in Maryland, to achieve straight A’s in every Leapfrog grading period since 2018, underscoring its sustained commitment to excellence in patient safety and quality care.

“As we celebrate Nurses Week and Healthcare Week this month, it’s an especially meaningful time to thank all caregivers for their dedication to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care,” said Catherine Maloney, president of LHAAMC and chief operating officer of Luminis Health. 

“Patient safety drives every decision we make, and earning a 15th consecutive ‘A’ reflects the consistency, discipline, and accountability our teams bring to delivering exceptional care every day.” 

Luminis Health continues to prioritize best practices that promote quality, safety, and accountability across all areas of care. This commitment is reflected in safe staffing, daily safety huddles, strong multidisciplinary communication, a focus on workforce well-being and retention, workplace safety initiatives, community partnerships, and collaboration with patient and family advisors.

The Leapfrog Group is an independent national nonprofit that evaluates general hospitals on how well they protect patients from preventable harm. Grades are based on performance measures related to errors, injuries, infections, and the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them. Scores are peer-reviewed, publicly reported, and updated twice annually.
