Nyack, NY – December 11, 2025 − U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice, has named Montefiore Nyack Hospital as a 2026 High Performing Hospital for Maternity Care as measured by factors such as C-section rates in lower-risk pregnancies, severe unexpected newborn complication rates, exclusive breast milk feeding rates, and birthing-friendly practices, among other measures.
“We are proud to be once again recognized as a national leader in maternity care by U.S. News & World Report. This designation reflects the outstanding dedication of our team to deliver the safest, highest-quality care for mothers and newborns,” said Mark Geller, MD, president and chief executive officer at Montefiore Nyack Hospital.
U.S. News began evaluating maternity care hospitals in 2021, rating hospitals that provide labor and delivery services and submit detailed data to the publication for analysis. For the 2026 edition, approximately 900 hospitals nationwide submitted maternity data for evaluation. Best Hospitals for Maternity Care ratings are intended to assist expectant parents, in consultation with their prenatal care providers, in making informed decisions about where to receive maternity services that best meet their family’s needs.
“Hospitals designated as a U.S. News Best Hospital for Maternity Care are national leaders. This recognition means they are consistently hitting crucial patient safety benchmarks compared to other hospitals,” said Jennifer Winston, Ph.D., health data scientist at U.S. News. “It's a clear signal to expectant parents about where the highest standards of care are being practiced – when parents see this designation, they can be assured they are choosing a hospital dedicated to exceptional, evidence-based maternity care.”
