December 15, 2022 – U.S. News & World Report has released their annual list of Best Hospitals for Maternity Care and seven Intermountain Healthcare hospitals in Utah have made the list, an important achievement as fewer than 300 hospitals around the country scored high enough to be recognized.
Intermountain hospitals on this year’s list includes:
- Alta View Hospital, Sandy
- Cedar City Hospital
- Intermountain Medical Center, Murray
- LDS Hospital, Salt Lake City
- Logan Regional Hospital
- McKay-Dee Hospital, Ogden
- St. George Regional Hospital
The magazine analyzes labor and delivery services data to make their determinations. This year they also analyzed four new factors including episiotomy rates, vaginal birth after cesarean rates, and whether each hospital met new federal criteria for “birthing-friendly” practices. U.S. News & World Report also recognized and rewarded hospitals for tracking and reporting their outcomes for patients of different races and ethnicities.
