Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley Graded In New Safety Rankings

PLEASANTON, CA — Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley was one of 126 California hospitals to receive an A in Leapfrog’s Fall 2025 Hospital Safety Grades.

The Leapfrog Group's Fall 2025 Hospital Safety Grades are a biannual ranking that assigns a "A," "B," "C," "D" or "F" to all general hospitals in the United States based on their ability to protect patients from medical errors, accidents, injuries and infections. The Leapfrog Group, a watchdog founded 25 years ago, said it aims to improve American health care through transparency.

The report also named "Straight A" hospitals — those earning an A grade for more than two years in a row. While Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley did not receive a Straight A (it received a B in spring 2025 and a C in fall 2024), Stanford Health Care did.

The hospital was ranked above average in several metrics, including:

• Treating infections in the blood
• Preventing deaths from serious, treatable conditions
• Preventing patient falls and injuries
• Staff working together to prevent errors
• Nursing and bedside care for patients
• Specially trained doctors caring for ICU patients
• Communication with doctors

It also scored below average in a few categories:

• Dangerous objects left in patient’s body
• Handwashing
• Effective leadership to prevent errors

Patch reached out to the hospital for further comment.

Nearby, Washington Hospital Healthcare System in Fremont scored a C, Kaiser Foundation Hospital scored a C, San Ramon Regional Medical Center scored a C, St. Rose Hospital scored a D, and Eden Medical Center scored an A.
