Baystate Franklin Makes Newsweek’s list of Best Maternity Hospitals

GREENFIELD — Baystate Franklin Medical Center has been recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2025. The award list was announced on April 16, and can be viewed on Newsweek.com.

High-quality maternity care, provided from pregnancy through birth and postpartum, is key to the long-term health of newborns and women who give birth. Given that maternity care is a major component of healthcare, Newsweek and Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, have partnered to identify America’s Best Maternity Hospitals in 2025. 

The America’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2025 ranking awards the leading hospitals for maternity care in the U.S. based on:

• Hospital quality metrics: Indicators relevant to maternity care were considered;

• Patient experience surveys: Publicly available data from patient surveys was used to analyze the overall patient experience in the hospital; and

• A nationwide online survey: Healthcare professionals and hospital managers with knowledge about maternity processes e.g., neonatal and perinatal doctors, nurses, and midwives, were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals in the U.S.

“I’m incredibly proud of the exceptional care provided by our team and for being recognized as one of America’s Best Maternity Hospitals by Newsweek, said Jodi Stack, President and COO of Baystate Franklin Medical Center. “The Birthplace at Baystate Franklin Medical Center is a welcoming and supportive environment, and this award is reflective of the innovative, quality, family-centered care being provided each and every day.”
