Newsweek once again ranks University Health a national top maternity hospital
University Health has been recognized as one of America's Best Maternity Hospitals by Newsweek, the fourth year in a row that University Health’s maternity services have earned that distinction.
High-quality maternity care from pregnancy through birth and postpartum is key to the long-term health of newborns and their parents.
University Health's Women's & Children's Hospital is the only hospital in San Antonio to achieve the highest distinction - Five Ribbon Performance - which reflects our commitment to providing exceptional care for mothers and newborns.
The America’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2025 rankings identify top U.S. hospitals for maternity care 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.
- Nationwide online survey: Health care professionals and hospital managers with expertise in maternity care, such as neonatal and perinatal doctors, nurses, and midwives, were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals.
The fact that peers across the nation recognize our reputation as a hospital that provides a high-quality maternity care and excellent childbirth experience gives this award special significance. Newsweek partnered with Statista to analyze statistics and provide the industry ranking.
