Harris Regional Hospital named among Best Maternity Hospitals by Leapfrog and Money Magazine

Harris Regional Hospital has been named to Money Magazine and The Leapfrog Group’s inaugural list of Best Hospitals for Maternity Care. The rankings are intended to help expecting parents make educated decisions about which hospitals consistently deliver the safest, highest-value care for patients and excellence in maternity experiences. Out of more than 2,200 hospitals surveyed, Harris Regional Hospital was one of 259 hospitals nationwide, and one of 30 in the state, to earn the first-time honor.

“Harris Regional Hospital is honored to be among the inaugural list of top hospitals to receive this honor,” said Chris Munton, chief executive officer of Harris Regional Hospital. “Our hard-working team of physicians, nurses and staff goes above and beyond every day to provide the best possible experience for mothers, babies and their families, and this is well-deserved recognition.”

To qualify for the honor, eligible hospitals were required to carry an A or B letter grade on the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assessment for spring 2022. Hospitals also were required to meet specific criteria and achieve national standards related to:

• Early Elective Deliveries
• Cesarean Birth
• Episiotomy
• DVT (deep vein thrombosis) Prophylaxis
• Bilirubin Screening
• High-Risk Deliveries (only applies to hospitals electively admitting high-risk deliveries)

Harris Regional Hospital is proud to deliver more than 600 babies per year, providing a variety of care and services for mother and baby, including prenatal care, education, labor & delivery, and breastfeeding support by certified lactation consultants.
