PORTLAND, Ore., May 8, 2024– Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Medical Center has been awarded on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2024. The award list was announced on May 8th, 2024, and can be viewed on Newsweek.com.
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 healthcare, Newsweek and Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider have partnered for the third time to identify America’s Best Maternity Hospitals in 2024.
“We are proud that Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Medical Center has been recognized by Newsweek for the excellent maternity care our patients have come to expect,” said Claire Grant, Director of Maternal Child at Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Medical Center. “This recognition highlights Kaiser Permanente’s commitment to ensure every patient, family and baby is provided safe, and consistently excellent care in every area of maternity including labor and delivery, midwifery, postpartum and NICU.”
The ranking is based on three pillars:
- Nationwide Online Survey: 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.
- Patient Experience Survey: Survey of the overall patient experience in the hospital.
- Hospital Quality Metrics: Indicators relevant to maternity care were considered.
