High-quality maternity care, provided from pregnancy through birth and postpartum, is key to the long- term health of newborns and women who give birth. Given that maternity care is a major component of health care, Newsweek and Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, have partnered to identify America’s Best Maternity Hospitals in 2026.
The America’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2026 ranking awards the leading hospitals for maternity care in the U.S. based on:
● Hospital Quality Metrics: with a focus on indicators relevant to maternity care.
● Patient Experience: from public hospital survey data.
● Reputation Score: Healthcare professionals and hospital managers with knowledge about maternity processes e.g., neonatal and perinatal doctors, nurses and midwives were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals in the U.S.
