In early March of 2024, my mother had a health emergency. The hospital staff at St. Michael’s Medical Center in Silverdale, thankfully, saved her life.

The Leapfrog Group website gives out hospital safety grades for medical centers all over America. 

The grades from medical experts come from highly accredited institutions like Harvard, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, Stanford, UC Davis, Vanderbilt, and the CDC.

Late last summer in 2024, Leapfrog graded 46 Washington hospitals. 13 Washington hospitals made an "A" rating. Click HERE to see the 2024 Washington hospital grades. 

The recent 2025 report card now shows 49 hospitals that were graded on how each institution deals with: 

• Infections
• Problems with surgery,
• Safety problems like falls, collapsed lungs, and blood clots, 
• What measures do they have in place to prevent errors? 
• Training of the doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff.
• How well they communicate with each other.
