PVHMC Awarded an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for Spring 2024

Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center (PVHMC) earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit watchdog. This is the second consecutive “A” rating the Hospital has received. 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.

“At Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, we are committed to providing exceptionally high quality and safe patient- and family-centered care,” said Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center President and CEO Richard E. Yochum, FACHE. “This second consecutive “A” safety rating is a direct reflection of the culture of safety embraced by our Associates and Physicians at every level of care.”

“Everyone who works at PVHMC should be proud of this ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “It takes complete dedication of at every level, and an ironclad commitment to putting patients first. I thank PVHMC, its leadership, clinicians, staff, and volunteers for caring so deeply for its patients and their safety.”

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program focused exclusively on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day nationally. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
