Birthing-friendly hospitals › Mississippi

Mississippi has 42 birthing-friendly hospitals. 42 of them have an emergency department. Across those that report it, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 33 min.

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.
