CHA Named to Newsweek's List of Best Maternity Hospitals 2024
CHA recognized for excellence in reducing pregnancy risk
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — For the fourth year, Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA), a community health system serving Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston's metro-north communities, has been named to Newsweek's list of Best Maternity Hospitals 2024. This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. 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 have partnered for the third time to identify America’s Best Maternity Hospitals in 2024. The awards list can currently be viewed on Newsweek’s website.
This honor reflects CHA's extensive efforts to reduce pregnancy risk and support equitable patient care. CHA employs a model of collaborative interprofessional care, with a focus on shared decision making with patients.
Three data sources were used for the evaluation:
- Nationwide online survey: Health care 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 US
- Medical KPIs on hospitals with a focus on indicators relevant to maternity care
- Results from patient surveys
"Once again, we are thrilled to be recognized for the fourth year in a row for Newsweek's prestigious award," said Tara Singh, MD, CHA’s chief of obstetrics and gynecology. "We strongly believe in our vision to provide excellent care for all, and we thank our patients for recognizing our team's hard work."
