Prime Healthcare Hospitals Recognized Among Nation's Safest by The Leapfrog Group
ONTARIO, Calif., May 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Prime Healthcare announced today that 31 of its hospitals across 13 states have earned an "A" Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for spring 2025, reinforcing Prime's unwavering commitment to high-quality, evidence-based, and patient-centered care.
The prestigious national recognition comes on the heels of Prime's recent expansion into the Chicago area through the acquisition of eight hospitals, care facilities, and medical groups from Ascension Illinois. Prime's continued growth is matched by its steadfast focus on delivering exceptional care and advancing clinical outcomes.
"Achieving an 'A' Hospital Safety Grade reflects the tremendous dedication and hard work of those committed to patient safety," said Leah Binder, President and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Prime Healthcare, its leadership, clinicians, staff, and volunteers for fostering a culture where patients come first and safety is always a top priority."
Among the 31 Prime hospitals receiving an "A" grade, 27 earned consecutive top grades across multiple grading periods, exemplifying a consistent culture of safety and quality. East Liverpool City Hospital (OH) and Lake Huron Medical Center (MI) have achieved straight "A" ratings since 2018, while Providence Medical Center (MO) has maintained its top-tier performance since 2019.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade evaluates over 30 national performance measures related to medical errors, infections, and injuries. Grades are issued twice annually and represent a trusted benchmark of hospital performance.
"This recognition reflects the extraordinary efforts of our physicians, nurses, and healthcare teams who put patient safety and clinical quality at the forefront every day," said Sunny Bhatia, MD, President and Chief Medical Officer of Prime Healthcare. "Prime Healthcare was founded by physicians with a mission to transform community hospitals. These 'A' grades demonstrate our dedication to that mission and to the patients and families who rely on us for compassionate, high-quality care."
Prime remains one of the nation's most recognized health systems for patient safety, clinical excellence, and quality outcomes. This year alone, Prime hospitals received more than 150 clinical quality awards from Healthgrades—including "America's 100 Best by Specialty," Specialty Excellence, and Five-Star Awards—and have been named among the nation's "100 Top Hospitals" by Premier a total of 72 times. Reflecting its mission to provide compassionate, high-quality, and accessible care, Prime was also recognized by the Lown Institute as a Top 10 Health System for social responsibility, health equity, and clinical outcomes.

Trump: 50-50 chance of reaching trade deal with EU
President Donald Trump appeared cautiously optimistic on Friday about the chances of reaching a trade deal with the European Union before his self-imposed Aug. 1 deadline. 'I would say that we have a 50-50 chance, maybe less than that, but a 50-50 chance of making a deal with the EU,' Trump told reporters at the White House before heading to Scotland on a private visit and to meet with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The U.S. and EU have been locked in intense negotiations in recent weeks as the deadline looms for Trump to impose a 30 percent tariff on all imports from the 27-country bloc which totaled $605 billion last year. The president on Friday said any deal with the EU countries will have to be one where they 'buy down their tariffs, because they're right now at 30 percent.' In essence, that depends on how willing the bloc is to lower its barriers to American exports, Trump said. Last year, the United States exported about $370 billion worth of goods to the EU. A large portion of those, along with some U.S. services exports, could be hit with EU retaliation if there is no agreement. Still, Trump told reporters he was more optimistic about reaching a deal with the EU than he was about reaching a deal with Japan in the days before Washington and Tokyo reached an agreement last week. 'I would have said we have a 25 percent chance with Japan. And they kept coming back, and we made a deal,' he said. UK 'fine tuning': Trump is spending the weekend in Scotland at his Turnberry and Aberdeen golf resorts, where he will host Starmer and Scottish First Minister John Swinney. Trump told reporters that he and Starmer 'want to talk about certain aspects" of the trade agreement his administration reached with Starmer's government in May. "More fine tuning. And also we're going to do a little celebrating together," the president said. In response to a question, Trump said he did not have much wiggle room to provide more generous terms on his steel and aluminum tariffs for the United Kingom in exchange for London addressing U.S. concerns about its digital services tax. 'Not a lot, because if I do it for one, I have to do it for all. So on that, steel and aluminum — not a lot,' Trump said. As part of the framework agreement inked in May, the U.K. was conditionally promised a quota to export steel to the U.S. at the low 'most-favored nation' rate. However, that provision has not yet been finalized after some in U.S. industry expressed concern.

Wall Street Is Betting on Amazon Stock Ahead of Q2 Earnings. Should You?
Amazon (AMZN) is set to report its second-quarter earnings for 2025 on Thursday, July 31. Notably, AMZN stock has staged an impressive comeback ahead of earnings, growing 22.5% over the past three months. Yet despite this recent surge, Amazon shares have only gained 5.6% since the beginning of the year, indicating that not everything has gone smoothly for the technology giant so far in 2025. While Amazon continues to show steady growth across its business segments, its all-important cloud division, Amazon Web Services (AWS), grew at a slower pace than expected. Moreover, broader concerns about the economy, inflation, and tariffs have weighed on Amazon stock.

Even so, optimism remains high among Wall Street analysts. Many see Amazon as a long-term winner, especially as AWS's growth rate could reaccelerate and the company continues to profitably grow its e-commerce and advertising businesses. While analysts are bullish about AMZN stock ahead of earnings, the upcoming Q2 earnings report will determine the future trajectory of the stock. Amazon to Deliver Solid Growth in Q2 Amazon is on track to deliver a strong second-quarter performance. Management is projecting net sales between $159 billion and $164 billion, marking a year-over-year increase of 7% to 11%. The tech company's core retail operations remain solid, as its value pricing strategy, an expansive product selection, and fast delivery continue to appeal to consumers despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and trade-related headwinds. The ongoing strength in Amazon's retail business is led by its solid delivery infrastructure. The company's investment in speeding up delivery has paid off, reducing delivery time for Prime members and driving customer loyalty. The company has also optimized its fulfillment network and last-mile logistics, achieving a reduction in cost per unit for the second consecutive year. These efficiencies, bolstered by Amazon's ongoing investments in automation and robotics, position the company well to maintain margins even as it scales. AWS continues to be the key contributor of revenue and earnings for Amazon. With an annualized revenue run rate of $117 billion and a growing portfolio of enterprise clients, AWS is increasingly central to Amazon's long-term growth narrative. Cloud adoption remains robust, driven by ongoing digital transformation and the rising demand for generative AI capabilities. AWS is well-positioned to serve both types of workloads, giving it a competitive edge. Although AWS growth moderated slightly in the first quarter, this slowdown appears cyclical, tied to cautious enterprise spending in an uncertain economic climate. Importantly, the AWS backlog grew 20% year-over-year to $189 billion in Q1, providing a strong pipeline of future growth. Another area of notable momentum is Amazon's advertising segment, which saw revenues jump 19% year-over-year in Q1. As brands increasingly prioritize digital platforms that offer end-to-end customer engagement, Amazon's full-funnel advertising solutions are becoming a go-to option. This segment is quickly evolving into a significant profit center, complementing the company's existing retail and cloud strengths. As Amazon continues to diversify its revenue and drive efficiency across its operations, it looks well-positioned to deliver solid earnings heading into Q2. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of $1.33 per share, reflecting an 8.1% year-over-year increase. Notably, Amazon has exceeded Wall Street's earnings expectations for four straight quarters, including a 17.8% earnings surprise last quarter. This solid bottom-line performance adds a layer of optimism ahead of Q2 earnings. Is Amazon Stock a Buy Now? Amazon stock made a strong comeback over the past three months. Moreover, several factors suggest the rally will sustain. The company continues to benefit from steady e-commerce demand. Further, its focus on streamlining logistics and improving efficiency will boost profitability, positioning the company for continued growth. Amazon's advertising segment is growing at a healthy pace and making a meaningful contribution to the bottom line. Meanwhile, AWS continues to expand, and a robust backlog signals strong demand from enterprise customers. Analysts remain bullish about Amazon stock and maintain a 'Strong Buy' consensus rating ahead of Q2 earnings.
