Livingston Hospital Lands On ‘Best Maternity Care’ List: Newsweek

LIVINGSTON, NJ — A Livingston hospital that delivers thousands of babies every year has landed on a new list of “Best Maternity Care Hospitals” in the nation.

Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston made Newsweek’s 2024 list of “America's Best Maternity Hospitals,” which recognizes the 404 leading maternity hospitals in the U.S.

According to Newsweek, the ranking is based on a nationwide online survey of hospital managers and medical professionals (regarding areas like perinatal care and operative obstetrics) as well as publicly available data from hospital surveys addressing the patient experience (including topics such as cleanliness and communication about medication).

Data on hospital quality metrics—like the number of elective deliveries and level of personnel vaccination—was provided from several sources, including nonprofit hospital accreditation organization The Joint Commission, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and the Health Resources and Services Administration.

Hospital administrators at Cooperman Barnabas said they were proud to make this year’s list in a message on social media:

“CBMC has long been one of the largest obstetrical programs in North Jersey, delivering approximately 6,300 babies a year, boasting a comprehensive Pediatrics Department and state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. We remain committed to providing safe, compassionate and consistently excellent care for every mother who entrusts us with the delivery of their babies.”
