Connecticut is officially home to the highest percentage of "A"-rated hospitals for patient safety in the country, according to the Leapfrog Group’s Spring 2026 Hospital Safety Grade. The report found that 18 Connecticut hospitals (64.3%) earned the top grade for their ability to protect patients from preventable harm and medical errors. Among the "A"-rated facilities are local standouts like Greenwich Hospital and Stamford Health.
Between the Lines: You might want to think twice before heading south; only 42% of Florida’s hospitals earned an "A." While Connecticut often gets a bad rap for its high cost of living, you’re more likely to survive the shock if you’re recovering in one of the safest hospitals in America.
