Nevada’s fall 2025 hospital safety grades show a clear divide between the northern and southern parts of the state, according to new ratings from The Leapfrog Group.

The biannual grades evaluate hospitals on preventable harm, including infections, medical errors and injuries, using national data and up to 32 safety measures.

This cycle, 18 Nevada hospitals received grades ranging from A to C, with two additional hospitals not graded.

Facilities in the Reno–Sparks region scored more evenly, while the Las Vegas area had a wider range of performance, including the majority of the state’s lowest marks.
