Ochsner in America’s Best Maternity Hospitals by Newsweek
The honor recognizes hospitals that excel in providing high-quality care to mothers and newborns.
Three Ochsner Health hospitals have been recognized as part of Newsweek’s list of Best Maternity Hospitals for 2023. Only 384 hospitals nationwide (and only eight in Louisiana) made the magazine’s annual list of Best Maternity Hospitals, which recognizes hospitals that excel in providing high-quality care to mothers and newborns. Ochsner’s honored facilities are:
- Ochsner Baptist - A Campus of Ochsner Medical Center, New Orleans
- Ochsner Medical Center - Baton Rouge
- Ochsner St. Anne Hospital, Raceland
Newsweek's ratings are based on three data sources: a national survey of hospital managers and maternity healthcare professionals that asked them to recommend top maternity hospitals; hospital performance data related to maternity care; and patient satisfaction data. Newsweek and Statista invited over 10,000 medical professionals to participate in the survey.
Numerous facilities across the Ochsner Health system are regularly recognized as leaders in maternity and women’s services. As of May 2023, 10 Ochsner facilities have achieved the Birth Ready and Birth Ready + designations by the Louisiana Perinatal Quality Collaborative (LaPQC). With two tiers of achievement, this designation celebrates improved perinatal health outcomes, the result of implementing clinical practices that promote safe, equitable, and dignified birth for all birthing persons.
