WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (June 26, 2024) – Highlighting Novant Health’s commitment to expert maternity care, Newsweek recently named the health system’s three largest hospitals to its America’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2024 list. Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center, Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center and Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center — which together accounted for nearly 15,000 births in 2023 — were recognized for their leading maternity care outcomes and patient experience scores. To compile the list, Newsweek and its research partner Statista used nationwide online surveys, hospital quality metrics and patient experience surveys.
The recognition validates the ongoing work Novant Health is doing toward its long-term goal to improve outcomes for mothers and their newborns by increasing access to early and adequate prenatal care and addressing social determinants of health.
“Novant Health continues to lead the way in providing safe, compassionate maternity care with expert care teams, comfortable settings and leading-edge technology,” said Dr. Lewis Lipscomb, physician executive of the Novant Health Women’s & Children's Institute. “This recognition by Newsweek confirms what generations of women and their families already know: When it’s time to grow your family, Novant Health is the place to go for the best care and a truly remarkable experience.”
The Novant Health Women’s & Children’s Institute is committed to providing specialized care for women and children at every stage of life. When it comes to maternity care, Novant Health’s team of experts partners with each patient to prepare for a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Each facility also provides the latest in advanced technology, clinical expertise and treatment options for both mom and baby.
Novant Health also offers resources to the community, including prenatal education, support groups and outpatient breastfeeding clinics for private, in-person and video visits with a Novant Health board-certified lactation consultant. Novant Health’s recent accolades for delivering stellar maternity care include recognitions from U.S. News & World Report for maternity excellence and for success in supporting Black mothers and their babies.
