UCI Health — Orange Earns 20th “A” Safety Grade from Leapfrog

UCI Health’s Orange campus has once again secured an “A” grade from The Leapfrog Group, marking the 20th time the hospital has earned the organization’s highest safety rating. This long-running streak highlights the hospital’s sustained commitment to preventing medical errors, reducing infections, improving communication among care teams, and ensuring rigorous patient-safety protocols are consistently followed.

Leaders at UCI Health say the recognition reflects years of disciplined work across all departments — from bedside nurses and pharmacists to surgical teams and quality-improvement staff — whose efforts contribute to a culture that prioritizes safety at every step of patient care. The distinction also reinforces the hospital’s role as a trusted regional medical center, providing Orange County residents with high-acuity care supported by nationally recognized safety practices.
