Two BSW hospitals named “High Performing” for Maternity Care by U.S. News & World Report
Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Grapevine have been recognized as “High Performing” in Maternity Care by U.S. News & World Report—the highest rating U.S. News awards for this type of care. The medical centers were the only two hospitals in Dallas-Fort Worth to receive this accolade, placing them in the top 10% of hospitals nationwide for pregnancy care.
To be recognized among the “Best Hospitals for Maternity,” hospitals had to excel on multiple quality metrics that matter to expectant families, including complication rates, C-sections, whether births were scheduled too early in pregnancy, and how successfully each hospital supported breastfeeding.
Baylor University Medical Center was the first hospital in Dallas-Fort Worth designated as a Level IV maternal care center, the highest possible designation by the Texas Department of State Health Services. It was ranked in the top 50 hospitals nationwide for Gynecology on U.S News & World Report’s “Best Hospitals” list 2021-2022 and voted “Best Place to Have a Baby 2021” by readers of Dallas Child Magazine. Awarded the “Texas Ten Step Award” for a mother-friendly environment, the hospital is a member of the Texas Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health Initiative. Baylor University Medical Center also is the first in the world to offer uterus transplant outside of a clinical trial, offering a solution to women with absolute uterine factor infertility.
At BSW – Grapevine, more than 3,000 babies are born each year. The hospital has been awarded the “Texas Ten Step Award” for a mother-friendly environment and was designated a Level II maternal care center by the Texas Department of State Health Services. The labor and delivery program includes nationally certified nurses, IBCLC-certified lactation consultants, advanced medical technology and multidisciplinary physicians on the medical staff.
BSW – Grapevine features a 21-bed Level III NICU that combines advanced technology and highly trained healthcare professionals to provide specialized care for the smallest babies.
“It is our great responsibility to care for mothers and babies, and this recognition is an example of how our multidisciplinary staff continues to work tirelessly for our patients,” said Steve Newton, president of Baylor University Medical Center.
