New Haven, CT (May 25, 2022) – Newsweek released its annual list of the best maternity hospital in the US and Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) was the only hospital in Connecticut to receive the top – five ribbon – ranking.
The 2022 ratings are based on three data sources: a national online survey of hospital managers and maternity healthcare professionals who were asked to recommend top maternity hospitals; hospital performance data related to maternity care; and patient satisfaction data.
“We are delighted to be recognized by Newsweek,” said Hugh Taylor, MD, chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology, YNHH and chair of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, Yale School of Medicine. “Yale New Haven Hospital has always been focused on providing top quality, family-centered care, from pregnancy to the birth experience to home. This recognition validates what our doctors, midwives, nurses and the rest of our team already feel – we provide the best care for mothers and their newborns.”
