According to U.S. News, the annual Best Hospitals for Maternity Care is designed to help patients and providers “identify hospitals that provide high-quality maternity care for uncomplicated pregnancies.”
U.S. News evaluated each hospital based on data from a voluntary, self-reported survey submitted by 650 hospitals offering maternity care in the U.S. The Best Hospitals for Maternity Care methodology factors in the following rates for hospitals: early elective delivery, C-section in lower-risk pregnancies, newborn complication, breast milk feeding, among others.
