Los Gatos and Mountain View Hospitals Recognized for Excellence in Patient Safety
Both El Camino Health hospitals have once again earned the highest ranking for patient safety from The Leapfrog Group, a national, not-for-profit, independent evaluator that measures excellence in patient care. This national distinction marks the sixth consecutive “A” grade for our Los Gatos hospital, and the tenth straight “A” for the Mountain View campus. El Camino Health is the only health system in the South Bay to have two hospitals receive the top safety grade for Spring 2025.

“Patient safety is the cornerstone of everything we do at El Camino Health, and we are incredibly proud to see both of our hospitals consistently recognized as leaders in safety,” said Dan Woods, chief executive officer at El Camino Health. “This achievement reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire staff, who remain committed to delivering safe, high-quality care to our community every single day. It’s an honor to be recognized as among the safest hospitals in the nation.”
This year, El Camino Health is part of a select, new Leapfrog “Straight A” group – defined as hospitals achieving an “A” Grade for five grading rounds or more. El Camino Health now ranks in the top 15 percent of California hospitals to earn this elite recognition and represents 12 percent of all eligible hospitals nationwide. The Leapfrog Group assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to all 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.

“It takes an unwavering commitment from staff at all levels to achieve an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO, The Leapfrog Group. “This reflects El Camino Health’s commitment to putting patients first every minute of every day. Your dedication is an inspiration.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program focused exclusively on preventable medical errors, injuries and infections that can lead to harm or even death. The grading system is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. The program began in 2012, and grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
