Nearby hospitals: maternity outcomes

A comparable Leapfrog measure is the low-risk, first-birth cesarean rate. Lower is generally preferable for this specific measure, but does not determine the best hospital for every pregnancy.

BronxCare
34.6%
St. Barnabas
22.1%

BronxCare Health System: 34.6% low-risk cesarean; 1.0% episiotomy; 1,383 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.

SBH Health System (St. Barnabas): 22.1% low-risk cesarean; 1.3% episiotomy; 609 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.

Published Leapfrog hospital-level maternity measures; not individual midwife outcomes. Reporting periods and patient mix may differ.

Mabel Estimates are scenario-based, not personalized benefits calculations. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers describe broad cost-sharing levels, not fixed maternity prices. Individual coverage and clinical credentials should be confirmed directly before booking.
