Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt has again been named a Leapfrog Top Hospital for 2024, earning the designation among an elite group of children’s hospitals across the nation. Monroe Carell is one of only eight children’s hospitals in the United States and the only one in Tennessee to receive a spot on the Top Hospitals list this year.
Leapfrog has published these lists since 2006. This is the eighth time that Monroe Carell has made the Top Children’s Hospitals list. Leapfrog's top hospitals must meet rigorous standards for safety and quality, measuring performance across many areas of hospital care, including infection rates, maternity care and a hospital’s ability to prevent medication errors.
In October, Monroe Carell was named among the nation Best Children’s Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report and recognized as the No. 1 children’s hospital in Tennessee and sharing first place in the Southeast.
