Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), part of Contra Costa Health, has been rated as one of the highest quality hospitals in the nation, earning an “A” from the Leapfrog Group in its fall 2024 safety report card.
CCRMC placed in the top 30% of the 3,000 hospitals surveyed nationwide in the fall report from Leapfrog, an independent nonprofit healthcare watchdog organization.
“This is a well-deserved honor that reflects the top-quality care our doctors, nurses and entire hospital staff provide the community,” said Federal Glover, chair of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. “I’m so proud of the great work they do each and every day.”
Leapfrog assigns grades to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 national performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them. The grading system is peer-reviewed, transparent and free to the public.
“Equity is at the heart of our mission to deliver safe and exceptional care to everyone, regardless of income or background,” said Supervisor John Gioia, the chair of the Joint Conference Committee, which oversees hospital administration. “This latest recognition from Leapfrog shows that safety-net hospitals like CCRMC continue to provide equitable, world-class medical services to the most vulnerable members of our communities.”
The Hospital Safety Grade is updated twice a year – in the spring and fall. CCRMC earned a “B” for the previous two periods and an “A” in the spring of 2023.
“We have worked hard to build a strong culture of safety at CCRMC,” said Anna Roth, chief executive officer of Contra Costa Health. “When someone goes to a hospital, they want to know they’re going to be safe and get great medical care. And that’s what CCMRC patients are getting, as this ‘A’ grade from Leapfrog shows.”
CCRMC is a full-service, 164-bed county hospital that primarily serves low-income residents with Medi-Cal. It has a 24-hour emergency department, accredited cancer care program and a nationally recognized family medicine residency program. CCRMC is the only safety-net hospital in Contra Costa County.
This information has obviously been not fact checked as CCRMC is about the bottom of the barrel worst medical you could ever have and be seen at.
I also wonder why a county hospital SHOULD be at the top. When people do not pay for their own medical care, WHY are we giving them the best?
Work
As a retired Health Services employee ( I was an accountant) I had CCHP until I moved out of the area. I got care that was comparable to John Muir Med Group (county actually contracts with them and UCSF for specialties and better than i had had with Kaiser when I worked private sector. I would love to have the care I had with CCHP vs the lousy system I’m dealing with where I live now. The local system here has boogered up something syste so bad I’m heading back into CA to get it fixed. And if I don’t like what Barton says I’m be making the trip to CCRMC.
Don’t buy this nonsense.
Hospitals and doctor groups create entities
solely to give themselves awards.
Paid for by marketing budgets and well financed
trade groups, all tying back to the hospitals
and doctor groups.
The Mafia wishes they had a gig like this.

I always thought better of you. There is no glory in being staff and CCRMC like there is at John Muir. There is no big money for most there. They are what medical care should be vs what it is with the for profits.
I guess wait times on a gurney were not a part of the grading.
Earlier this year a pt waited on the gurney for 4 1/2 hours until PES was finally able to take over pt care.
If anyone wonders why AMR is level 0 look at this nonsense first
