Jupiter Medical Center Earns Another “A” for Patient Safety

The Leapfrog Group awards JMC with 15 consecutive “A,” underscoring hospital’s consistent commitment to patient safety and clinical excellence

Jupiter, FL – May 6, 2026 - Jupiter Medical Center (JMC) has earned its 15th consecutive “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Known for its quality, safety, and patient experience scores, Jupiter Medical Center is again the only hospital in Palm Beach and Martin Counties to earn the “A” rating.

This distinction places JMC among the nation’s “Straight A” hospitals, those that received an “A” rating for Spring 2026 and have maintained that grade for at least five consecutive reporting cycles. This elite designation is awarded to only a small percentage of eligible hospitals nationwide and reflects Jupiter Medical Center’s longstanding commitment to patient safety through rigorous safety protocols, ongoing quality improvement, and a culture of teamwork and collaboration.

“Earning our 15th consecutive ‘A’ is a powerful affirmation of our dedication to patient safety and clinical excellence,” said Amit Rastogi, MD, MHCM, President and CEO of Jupiter Medical Center. “This achievement reflects the daily diligence of our physicians, nurses, and care teams who prioritize safe and compassionate care.”

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assigns letter grades—from “A” to “F”—to hospitals across the United States using more than 30 evidence-based measures, including rates of medical errors, injuries, and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent patient harm. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program focused exclusively on preventable medical errors, injuries, and infections that can lead to serious harm. The grading system is fully transparent, peer-reviewed, and free to the public, with grades updated twice annually.

“Jupiter Medical Center deserves recognition for its unwavering focus on protecting patients and delivering safe care, earning an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade for 15 consecutive cycles,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “Sustaining this level of excellence over time demonstrates an organization-wide commitment to making patient safety a top priority every single day.”
