PVHMC Earns an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for Spring 2025

PVHMC earns national recognition for commitment to patient safety for four consecutive reporting periods.

Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center (PVHMC) has earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety, for four consecutive reporting periods. 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.

“Demonstrated through our dedication to the highest standards in patient care, we’re proud to earn national recognition for our commitment to patient safety from Leapfrog for four consecutive reporting periods,” said Richard E. Yochum, FACHE, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center President/CEO. “From every facet our operations, our health care team and administration work collaboratively to ensure that we provide an exceptional patient experience to every person who walks through our doors.”

“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 Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for creating a culture where patients come first.”

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.
