Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Awards

 

SNMH Receives an A Safety Grade from the Leapfrog Group

Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital has once again been awarded an "A" Hospital Safety Grade by The Leapfrog Group, a respected national nonprofit watchdog. This recognition, based on rigorous assessments of over 30 measures, highlights our continuous commitment to patient safety and quality care. With this being our second consecutive "A" rating, it underscores the dedication of our exceptional physicians and staff.

 

SNMHF Top Rural Hospital Award

In December 2023, staff and community members gathered to celebrate the SNMH award from Leapfrog as a Top Rural Hospital. We are one of only 15 rural hospitals in the country to earn this honor. In addition, we are the only hospital in the state of California to receive this award in 2023. 

The highest performing hospitals on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey are recognized annually with the prestigious Leapfrog Top Hospital award. Top Hospitals have better systems in place to prevent medication errors, higher quality on maternity care and lower infection rates, among other laudable qualities.

It is in part due to your unwavering dedication and support over the years that we have been able to achieve this incredible honor. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring we have access to high quality healthcare in Western Nevada County.
