The Leapfrog Group is a non-profit that assesses hospital and ambulatory surgery center patient safety and quality, issuing ratings (A–F) and safety grades. It highlights programs and leaders (e.g., Vice Presidents, Directors) across governance, health care quality measurement, and transparency. Public ratings include employer reviews and certain health-care facility designations (e.g., Ambulatory Surgery Center). However, the provided page snapshot does not show any Merced-based University Surgery Center listing or a Merced-specific Leapfrog rating. If you’re looking for ratings for a specific facility in Merced (e.g., University Surgery Center), you may need to search Leapfrog’s ratings database directly for that facility name or check local health-system announcements and the Leapfrog designation pages for ambulatory surgery centers in Merced. If you can share the exact facility name or a link to the Merced entry, I can extract the precise Leapfrog rating and any safety/quality notes.
