December 8, 2025 - El Camino Health earned an "A" Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on health care quality and safety transparency. Leapfrog assigns an "A," "B," "C," "D" or "F" grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them. This national distinction marks the 11th consecutive "A" grade for our Mountain View campus.
"We're honored to once again receive the highest ranking for patient safety from The Leapfrog Group," said Mark Adams, MD, chief medical officer at El Camino Health. "This recognition reflects the dedication of our entire workforce to protecting the well-being of our patients and delivering the highest standards of safety and quality care."
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
"Achieving an 'A' Hospital Safety Grade reflects enormous dedication to patient safety," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "I extend my congratulations to El Camino Health, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for creating a culture where patients come first."
