Grand Itasca Named a Best Hospital for Maternity Care & Access

In addition to being named a Best Hospital for Maternity Care, we are also honored to receive the Maternity Care Access Hospital designation. This distinction is awarded to hospitals serving communities that would otherwise face significant maternity care gaps. Only 75 hospitals nationwide received both recognitions for 2024-2025.

Providing the Best in Maternity Care—Where It's Needed Most

Being recognized by U.S. News & World Report reflects our dedication to excellence in maternal health care. This achievement underscores our entire team's hard work and compassion in delivering high-quality, patient-centered maternity services.

What Sets Top Maternity Hospitals Apart

• Newborn Complications: Measures the rate of newborn complications, ensuring that hospitals maintain low rates.
• Cesarean Sections: Evaluates the rate of cesarean sections, promoting hospitals with lower rates of unnecessary C-sections.
• Breastfeeding: Assesses support for breastfeeding and measures the percentage of mothers exclusively breastfeeding their newborns.
• Early Elective Deliveries: Ensures hospitals minimize early elective deliveries, which can lead to complications.
