Eisenhower Health’s maternity care recognized by U.S. News & World Report study

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (KESQ) - Eisenhower Health is being recognized among the nation's best for maternity care.

U.S. News & World Report named Eisenhower a High Performing facility in its 2026 Best Hospitals for Maternity Care annual study. The High Performing designation is the highest award a hospital can earn as part of the study.

Eisenhower Health earned the High Performing designation in recognition of maternity care, measured by factors such as C-section rates in lower-risk pregnancies, severe unexpected newborn complication rates, exclusive breast milk feeding rates, and birthing-friendly practices, among other measures.

Hospital leaders say the award highlights their commitment to exceptional care for mothers and newborns. Eisenhower Health's Chief Medical Officer and Chief Quality Officer Eric Leroux, MD, says, “This recognition is a testament to the skill, compassion, and dedication of our entire maternity team, who place patient safety and quality at the forefront of every decision. We are honored to serve families in our community during such a meaningful moment in their lives.”
