Anne Arundel Medical Center was recently named a top hospital by the Leapfrog Group for the second consecutive year.

"This award recognizes the high standards of our hospital across all services, with a particular focus on patient safety, quality and effective use of resources," said Tori Bayless, hospital president and CEO. "Anne Arundel Medical Center is among an elite group of hospitals to earn this distinction. I am very proud of what we've accomplished here!"

Anne Arundel Medical Center was selected as a top hospital out of nearly 1,200 hospitals participating in the Leapfrog Group's annual survey. The survey measures performance in patient safety and quality, focusing on three critical areas of hospital care: how patients fare, resource use and management structures in place to prevent errors.
