Clinical rates

Cesarean rate
23.6%–27%
Includes planned and unplanned C-sections. National average is ~32%.
Episiotomy rate

Policies & support

Doula friendly
Yes
Whether the facility allows and supports doulas during labor and birth.

Not confirmed
National nursing guidelines for how labor, birth, postpartum, and newborn units should be staffed to support safe, high-quality care.

Level II hospitals can care for some higher-risk pregnancies and manage a broader range of complications on-site.
Racial disparity data available publicly
Yes
Whether the facility publicly shares data on racial disparities in maternity care outcomes.
