Palomar Medical Center Escondido and Poway Earn an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group
Palomar Medical Center Escondido and Poway earned an “A” from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety.
New Grade for spring 2025 is a national recognition for Palomar Health’s commitment to patient safety.
“At Palomar Health, patient safety isn’t just a standard — it’s a promise. This national recognition reflects our team’s unwavering commitment to keeping our patients safe at every step of their healthcare journey,” said Diane Hansen, president and CEO of Palomar Health. “We are proud to once again receive two ‘A’ grades from The Leapfrog Group, reinforcing our commitment to providing the highest-quality care to our community.”
“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 Palomar Health, 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.
“This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our entire team, from physicians and nurses to support staff, all working together to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients,” Hansen added.
