12 consecutive ‘A’ grades demonstrate Paradise Valley Hospital’s dedication to patients
Paradise Valley Hospital, a member of Prime Healthcare, was awarded an “A” Hospital Safety Grade for the 12th consecutive grading round by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. This designates Paradise Valley Hospital as a “Straight A” hospital, defined as hospitals that have an A for Spring 2026 and have sustained that grade for the last five or more grading rounds. This places Paradise Valley Hospital in the upper echelon of all eligible hospitals.
“Paradise Valley Hospital is a top tier, high performing hospital,” says Neerav Jadeja, CEO of Paradise Valley Hospital. “Twelve consecutive ‘A’ grades put us among the best in the nation and make us the only hospital in the South Bay with that record. That is elite. This success reflects the extraordinary commitment of our physicians, nurses, and staff.”
The Leapfrog Group assigns an “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” or “F” grade to all general hospitals across the country using evidence-based measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
“Paradise Valley Hospital deserves recognition for its unwavering focus on protecting patients and delivering safe care, earning an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade for 12 consecutive cycles,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “Sustaining this level of excellence over time shows a true, organization-wide commitment to making patient safety a top priority every single day.”
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. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
