Safety, quality, affordability

“WellSpan Health is dedicated to delivering safe, quality and affordable healthcare to our neighbors in South Central Pennsylvania. We are honored that Money and The Leapfrog Group have acknowledged our efforts by naming three WellSpan hospital to their list of Best Maternity Hospitals in America,” said Dr. Michael Seim, senior vice president and chief quality officer, WellSpan Health.  

To compile its new list of the top hospitals in the country for maternity care in partnership with Money, the Leapfrog Group used maternity care data from the 2022 Leapfrog Hospital Survey. To qualify for the list, eligible hospitals were required to carry an ‘A’ or ‘B’ letter grade on the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assessment for spring 2022 and meet criteria specific to providing maternity care.  

WellSpan Health offers comprehensive maternity care beginning with the pregnancy journey to planning for the birth of your child.  For more information on the extensive obstetric and maternity services for women and their newborns, visit WellSpan’s website by clicking here.
