The Leapfrog Group is proud to announce that our president and CEO Leah Binder was recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of the 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare of 2025. The complete ranking can be found in the Dec. 8 issue of MH magazine, and profiles of all the honorees are available online at ModernHealthcare.com/100MostInfluential.
This prestigious recognition program acknowledges and honors individuals who are deemed by the Modern Healthcare newsroom to be the most influential figures in the industry in terms of leadership and impact.
“Influence can be exerted in many ways but regardless of whether it is used to internally shape organizations, the healthcare industry as a whole or both, playing a positive role benefits patients and the professionals responsible for their health,” said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. “Our ranked list of the 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare highlights the executives in all corners of the industry who are striving to advance medicine and how care is delivered — and succeeding in doing so.”
Under Binder’s leadership, The Leapfrog Group launched the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade in 2012, which assigns letter grades assessing the safety of general hospitals across the country. She has also fostered groundbreaking innovations in the annual Leapfrog Hospital Survey, including partnerships to eliminate early elective deliveries, central line-associated bloodstream infections and safe use of health technology.
