Twice a year, the nonprofit healthcare watchdog organization publishes a letter grade for 3,000 hospitals on how well they prevent medical errors, accidents and infections. Among the 3,000 hospitals evaluated nationwide, fewer than 1 percent received an “F.”
Overall, patient experience saw signs of improvement since the fall 2023 safety grades, and preventable healthcare-associated infections showed a sustained drop after unprecedented rates during the pandemic.
Here are this spring’s 10 “F”-graded hospitals:
California
Mission Community Hospital (Panorama City)
Pacifica Hospital of the Valley (Sun Valley)
Providence St. Mary Medical Center (Apple Valley)
Florida
Halifax Health Medical Center-Port Orange
