Spring 2026 Safety Grade is a national recognition for commitment to patient safety

Alhambra, CA, MAY 6, 2026 – Alhambra Hospital Medical Center earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country using evidence-based measures of patient safety focused exclusively on errors, accidents, injuries and infections.

“It takes a healthcare village to earn the top grade from the Leapfrog Group,” said Evelyn Ku, CEO of Alhambra Hospital. “Our team, including our medical staff, is committed to providing safe, effective healthcare for patients and community. We are very proud to earn this distinction for outstanding patient safety for the third consecutive period.”

“An ‘A’ Grade is a strong sign that Alhambra Hospital is deeply committed to protecting patients from harm,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “We commend the leadership, Board, clinicians, staff and volunteers for the role each played in earning this distinction.”

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.
