BRIGHTON, Mich. (May 6, 2026) – Trinity Health Livingston has received an “A” grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety, for their 2026 Spring Grades.

This is the seventh straight “A” grade for Trinity Health Livingston, allowing the hospital to keep its “Straight A” designation intact, which is earned by hospitals that have received an “A” grade in at least five consecutive cycles.

“Earning another ‘A’ grade in the midst of moving all operations from our legacy campus in Howell to the new hospital in Brighton, speaks volumes about the dedication and skill of our team,” said John O’Malley, president of Trinity Health Livingston and Trinity Health Medical Center — Brighton. “Delivering safe, high-quality care was our number one priority during the hospital move, and to have done so at such an elite level is not only remarkable, but reflective of the talent and dedication of our entire team. I couldn’t be prouder of all we’ve accomplished together.”

Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country using evidence-based measures of patient safety focused exclusively on errors, accidents, injuries and infections.

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.

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