The 2025 Maternity Care Honor Roll Results Are In!
To holistically assess the quality of maternity care services across California hospitals, Cal Hospital Compare has broadened its Maternity Care Honor Roll criteria to include 5 maternal health metrics. The historical Maternity Care Honor Roll program identified hospitals that met or exceeded the statewide NTSV C-section target of 23.6%. The new maternity care composite measure, which summarizes data from multiple measures, allows us to recognize hospital’s providing high quality maternity care in multiple ways while also driving continuous quality improvement.
In total, 198 hospitals participated in California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative’s Maternal Data Center and are eligible for the 2025 Maternity Care Honor Roll.
- 82 hospitals are recognized for the 2025 Maternity Care Honor Roll (see fact sheet for full list)
- 54 hospitals achieved Superior performance by meeting the maternity care composite criteria (i.e. meeting or exceeding the performance standards for all 5 maternal health metrics)
- 28 hospitals achieved Basic Performance by meeting or exceeding the statewide and Healthy People 2030 NTSV C-section target rate of 23.6% for low-risk, first time births
