Newsweek has released its annual list of the best maternity hospitals in the U.S., which includes 217 hospitals across 36 states.
Newsweek partnered with The Leapfrog Group to compile the list of hospitals that demonstrate excellence in maternity care. To be considered for the list, hospitals had to demonstrate they meet Leapfrog's standards for excellence in maternity care: low rates of C-section, episiotomy and early elective deliveries, and follow important protocols to protect moms and babies. Read more about the methodology here.
Below are the 217 hospitals that made the list, organized by state.
