"Birthing Friendly" Hospitals

License: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

Built from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare data covering Medicare-certified hospitals, refreshed March 2026, see our methodology.

Hospitals designated "Birthing Friendly" by CMS for meeting structural and process standards for maternal and newborn care. 200 hospitals carry the designation, listed alphabetically.

This is a binary designation, not a continuous score or a ranking. It does not mean a facility is the safest place for any individual birth. Outcomes depend on case-mix, acuity, transfer protocols, and the specific clinical situation. See our rankings methodology.
