Banner Fort Collins Medical Center and North Colorado Medical Center have been named to Newsweek’s list of Best Maternity Hospitals 2022. This award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., a statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list can be viewed on Newsweek’s
website.
Newsweek and Statista developed a complex methodology to ensure the quality and validity of the ranking. Three data sources were used for the evaluation:
- Nationwide online survey of medical providers who oversee or work in maternity services
- Medical performance metrics relevant to maternity care
- Patient surveys
Newsweek and Statista invited over 10,000 medical professionals to participate in the survey. Only 350 winners were recognized on the Best Maternity Hospitals 2022 list.
