Newsweek released its annual list of the best maternity hospitals in the U.S. this month. Hoag Hospital Newport Beach was featured under California.
For the list, the magazine partnered with global market research and consumer data firm Statista to identify the 384 leading hospitals for maternity care in the U.S. Hospitals were categorized as either four-ribbon or five-ribbon facilities. The second highest rating category — four ribbons — includes 225 institutions.
Newsweek said the ranking is based on an online survey in which neonatal care providers and OB-GYNs were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals; medical key performance indicator data relevant to maternity care; and patient satisfaction data. More information about the methodology is available here.
