Mercy Gilbert Medical Center has received an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit that evaluates hospitals on patient safety.

The grade places Mercy Gilbert among a select group of hospitals nationwide recognized for consistently high safety standards.

The hospital has maintained an “A” rating for five or more consecutive grading periods, earning the designation of a “Straight A” hospital. About 12 percent of eligible hospitals achieve this distinction.

Chandler Regional Medical Center, also part of Dignity Health East Valley, received an “A” grade for fall 2025.

Leapfrog assigns grades from A to F to general hospitals across the country based on more than 30 measures, including errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as systems in place to prevent harm. Grades are updated twice a year.

“These distinctions are especially gratifying, knowing how rare it is that a facility earns them,” Mario Garner, president of Dignity Health East Valley, said in a release.

Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, said Mercy Gilbert’s consistent performance reflects a long-term commitment to patient safety.

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only national ratings program focused exclusively on preventable medical errors, injuries and infections. The grading system is peer-reviewed, transparent and free to the public.
