Newsweek Names UVA Medical Center to Best Maternity Hospitals 2021 List

Newsweek has honored University of Virginia Medical Center, UVA Women’s Services and UVA Children’s on the publication’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2021 list for providing safe, high-quality care for mothers and newborns.

“This award would not be possible without the tireless effort of our teams across the health system, including our physicians, nurses, certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and the entire team in Women’s Services and UVA Children’s to provide the highest-quality care for our newborns and new moms,” said James E. (Jef) Ferguson, MD, MBA, chair of UVA’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Hospitals were recognized based on the results of the 2020 Leapfrog Hospital Survey conducted by The Leapfrog Group, an independent nonprofit that monitors the quality and safety of hospitals.

To be recognized as a Best Maternity Hospital, healthcare organizations had to meet several standards that include:

“Our teams are dedicated to serving families by providing excellent care that meets and exceeds the highest, evidence-based standards,” said Christian Chisholm, MD, medical director of labor and delivery at UVA. “I am so pleased to see all of our team members honored for what they do to support new moms and their babies.”
