Birthing-friendly hospitals in Arizona

Birthing-friendly hospitals › Arizona

Arizona has 41 birthing-friendly hospitals. 38 of them have an emergency department. Across those that report it, the median emergency department visit lasts 3 hr 3 min.

The birthing-friendly designation marks hospitals that have attested to taking part in a maternity care quality improvement programme and to implementing recommended patient safety practices. It reflects participation in those programmes rather than a measured birth outcome, so treat it as one signal among several when choosing where to give birth.
