Contra Costa Regional Medical Center Maintains “A” Safety Grade from Leapfrog Group

After achieving a top grade as one the nation’s highest quality hospitals last fall, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), part of Contra Costa Health, has maintained its “A” in the Spring 2025 safety report card from the Leapfrog Group [hospitalsafetygrade.org].

The “A” grade places CCRMC in the top 32% of the 3,000 hospitals surveyed nationwide. Leapfrog is an independent nonprofit healthcare watchdog committed to driving quality, safety and transparency in the U.S. health system.

“This A grade comes as we prepare to celebrate our amazing nursing staff during National Nurses Week (May 6-12) and share our gratitude for their invaluable contributions to our hospital and health centers,” said Supervisor Candace Andersen, chair of the Board of Supervisors. “It takes a strong team to provide an outstanding health system. I’m proud of our entire CCRMC team and delighted by this recognition of their commitment to safe and high-quality care.”

Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade report is updated twice a year – in the spring and fall. CCRMC earned an “A” in the previous report in the fall of 2024. Grades are assigned to general hospitals across the country based on up to 30 national performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them. The grading system is peer-reviewed, transparent and available free to the public.

“This rating is a testament to the hard work of our staff and their dedication to excellent patient care,” said Dr. Ori Tzvieli, interim chief executive officer of Contra Costa Health. “Our patients deserve to be able to trust the care they receive. Independent reviews from organizations like Leapfrog help us build that trust."

CCRMC is a full-service, 167-bed designated public hospital that primarily serves residents with Medi-Cal. It has a 24-hour emergency department, accredited cancer care program and a nationally recognized family medicine residency program.
