Newsweek has released its annual list of the best maternity hospitals in the United States.
Providence Swedish First Hill received the highest ranking of a five-ribbon rating in Newsweek’s 2024 America’s Best Maternity Hospitals. Providence Swedish Issaquah received a four-ribbon rating.
The list includes 404 hospitals that are honored with Best Maternity Hospital designations. A total of 167 hospitals received Newsweek’s five-ribbon rating. 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.
