Celebrating Patient Safety Awareness Week 2026

Building Patient Confidence through Transparency

What does a strong culture of safety actually look like? In the healthcare industry, transparency is the greatest driver of improvement. The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit watchdog, provides the gold standard for this transparency through their bi-annual Hospital Safety Grades.

When you receive care with our physicians and nurses, these grades are more than just accolades. For our hospitals, they are a measure of patient confidence. Our system has set a national benchmark for sustained excellence:

• National Leadership: Prime Healthcare is one of only ten health systems nationwide with the most hospitals earning an "A" Hospital Safety Grade and ranks among the top five for Straight A performance.
• Consistent Excellence: Overall, 53% of Prime hospitals received an "A," a higher percentage than nearly every other health system in the country.
• Top-Tier Recognition: Individual facilities, such as Montclair Hospital Medical Center and North Vista Hospital, have earned the Leapfrog Top Hospital award, a distinction reserved for the highest-performing institutions in the nation.

This track record is the result of a clinician-led mission to transform community healthcare. By empowering staff to speak up and investing in the latest safety technologies, Prime Healthcare ensures that patient safety is a lived reality.
