EvergreenHealth Medical Center Among America's Best Maternity Hospitals for 2024 by Newsweek
The ranking places EvergreenHealth Medical Center among just 404 hospitals in the U.S.
KIRKLAND, Wash. — EvergreenHealth Medical Center has been named among America's Best Maternity Hospitals by Newsweek for 2024.
The list of 404 leading maternity hospitals was created following data showing that millions of Americans live in counties that lack or have limited access to maternity care services.
High-quality maternity care, provided from pregnancy through birth and postpartum, is key to the long-term health of newborns and women who give birth. Given that maternity care is a major component of healthcare, Newsweek and Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, have partnered for the third time to identify America's Best Maternity Hospitals in 2024.
The list was compiled based on three pillars:
- Nationwide Online Survey: Healthcare professionals and hospital managers with knowledge about maternity processes e.g., neonatal and perinatal doctors, nurses, and midwives were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals in the U.S.
- Patient Experience Survey: Survey of the overall patient experience in the hospital.
- Hospital Quality Metrics: Indicators relevant to maternity care were considered.
"We are thrilled to be recognized among the Best Maternity Hospitals in the nation by Newsweek. With exceptional care that span the entire pregnancy, birthing and postpartum experience, we offer services for every unique individual that walks through our doors," said EvergreenHealth CEO Ettore Palazzo, MD, FACP. "Our outstanding support for pregnant individuals is just one example of how we deliver high-quality, safe and compassionate care to everyone in our community. We strive every day to serve our patients and make a positive impact on their health and wellness."
In July 2024, EvergreenHealth was also recognized internationally for excellence in lactation care by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners and the International Lactation Consultant Association.
