On June 1, 2026, the Defense Health Agency announced that Walter Reed National Military Medical Center earned a Leapfrog “A” hospital safety grade for spring 2026. The independent nonprofit Leapfrog Group evaluates hospitals on safety and prevention measures, assigning grades from A to F twice a year. This marks the fifth consecutive six‑month cycle in which Walter Reed received a top score. The center is one of 15 military hospitals to earn an A grade this cycle and one of only three to achieve consecutive A grades over the past five cycles. In its most recent evaluation, Walter Reed scored above average in preventing MRSA and sepsis, improving hand hygiene, surgical safety, medication administration, and patient discharge communication.
