Newsweek Names Bronson Battle Creek One of the Nation’s Best Maternity Care Hospitals

Newsweek has announced its 2021 list of Best Maternity Care Hospitals and Bronson Battle Creek Hospital is proud to be among them. The distinction recognizes 217 hospitals across 36 states that have excelled in providing care to mothers, newborns, and their families, as verified by the 2020 Leapfrog Hospital Survey.

Hospitals named as a Best Maternity Care Hospital have fully met The Leapfrog Group’s standards for maternity care on evidence-based, nationally standardized metrics. This includes lower rates of early elective delivery, NTSV C-section, and episiotomy, as well as compliance with process measures including newborn bilirubin screening prior to discharge and blood clot prevention techniques for mothers delivering via C-section. Best Maternity Care Hospitals have also demonstrated a commitment to safety via the fall 2020 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade.
