WakeMed Named Among Nation's Best Maternity Hospitals for 2023
June 16, 2023
RALEIGH, N.C. (June 16, 2022) – WakeMed Raleigh Campus, WakeMed Cary Hospital and WakeMed North Hospital received top recognition as being among the best maternity care hospitals in the U.S., according to a national ranking by Newsweek based on data from Statista.
The distinction recognizes WakeMed as a proven leader in providing the highest level of quality care for expectant mothers and their babies.
Newsweek’s 2023 list of America’s Best Maternity Hospitals spotlights facilities that have excelled in providing care to mothers, newborns and their families and have fully met Statista’s standards for maternity care on evidence-based, nationally standardized metrics.
The rankings were determined based on a nationwide online survey in which hospital managers and maternity healthcare professionals (e.g., neonatal care providers and OB/GYNs) were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals; medical key performance indicator data relevant to maternity care (e.g., a hospital's rate of cesarean births); and patient satisfaction data (e.g., how patients rated a hospital's medical staff for responsiveness and communication).
WakeMed North Hospital’s data was incorporated into tabulations with WakeMed Raleigh Campus because the two facilities operate under the same CMS license.
With three full-service hospitals offering a patient-focused birthing experience, WakeMed Health & Hospitals delivers more babies than any other health system in Wake County — more than 8,900 new lives each year.
WakeMed’s birthing centers at each hospital offer personalized care for the entire family, state-of-the-art facilities, expert care for babies needing extra help, lactation/feeding support, childbirth and parenting class and access to WakeMed doula services.
