Altru is the only hospital in North Dakota to be named to Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2024. The list was announced last month and can be viewed on Newsweek.com.
“At Altru, we continue to make a difference for our mothers and babies,” said Dr. Josh Deere, president of Altru. “For the last three years, we’ve received this recognition due to the high-quality care we provide. Our mothers receive the best care from a team dedicated to going above and beyond during their birth experience.”
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.
The ranking is based on three pillars:
1. 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.
2. Patient Experience Survey: Survey of the overall patient experience in the hospital.
3. Hospital Quality Metrics: Indicators relevant to maternity care were considered.
Based on the results of the study, Altru is proud to be recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Maternity Centers 2024
