Southern Hills Hospital earns coveted "A" grading from Leapfrog for Patient Safety

Las Vegas, Nev. — Sunrise Health System is proud to announce that MountainView Hospital and Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center have each received an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit watchdog that sets standards for excellence in hospital safety and quality.

This recognition places both hospitals among the safest in the nation, reflecting a sustained commitment to protecting patients from preventable harm and delivering high-quality, evidence-based care.

“Receiving an ‘A’ from Leapfrog is a tremendous honor that reflects the dedication of our physicians, nurses and entire care teams,” said Division Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jeff Murawsky. “At Sunrise Health System, safety is at the heart of everything we do — from the bedside to the boardroom. We’re proud to provide our community with care that exceeds the highest national standards.”

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program exclusively based on hospital prevention of medical errors, infections and injuries. Grades are assigned to nearly 3,000 general hospitals nationwide twice each year, with ‘A’ representing the highest level of patient safety performance.

Hospitals earning an “A” excel across 22 evidence-based measures, including staff responsiveness, medication safety, infection prevention and effective communication between caregivers and patients. These efforts result in shorter hospital stays, fewer complications and lower mortality rates.
