The “America’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2023” award presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider invited over 10,000 medical professionals to participate and used three data sources for the evaluation:
· Nationwide online survey – over 10,000 health care professionals and hospital managers with knowledge about maternity processes such as neonatal and perinatal doctors, nurses and midwives were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals in the U.S.
· Key performance indicators (KPIs) – medical KPI data relevant to maternity care.
· Patient satisfaction surveys - results from patient satisfaction surveys including staff communication and responsiveness were considered.
“We are humbled by this esteemed distinction. Our exclusive, stellar services set us apart,” says Senior Director of Women’s Services at Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Alesha Alford, DNNP, RNC-OB. “From a Pregnancy Navigator to guide moms-to-be during their pregnancy journey to the area’s only Level III Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), our team provides comprehensive care to infants born at all gestational ages and birth weights. We are here through all maternity.”
