CHRISTIANSBURG – U.S. News & World Report has named Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital and Carilion New River Valley Medical Center as 2025 High Performing Hospitals for Maternity care.
This is the highest award a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals for Maternity Care.
The designation is measured by factors such as newborn complication rates, birthing-friendly practices and more. With the largest team of obstetricians, gynecologists and maternal fetal medicine specialists in the region, Carilion is the only system in southwest Virginia to receive this designation. This is the fourth consecutive year Roanoke Memorial has been recognized.
“We are truly honored to receive this recognition as a system committed to clinical excellence,” said Isaiah M. Johnson, M.D., Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Carilion. “This acknowledgment reflects our daily focus on patient safety and our ongoing dedication to quality improvement. It highlights the hard work and collaboration of our team in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care to achieve the best possible outcomes. I am incredibly proud to represent such a compassionate and devoted group of providers and caregivers.”
Best Hospitals for Maternity Care is an annual evaluation designed to assist expectant parents, in consultation with their prenatal care team, in making informed decisions about where to receive maternity care that best meets their family’s needs.
“The hospitals recognized by U.S. News as Best Hospitals for Maternity Care showcase exceptional care for expectant parents,” said Jennifer Winston, Ph.D., health data scientist at U.S. News. “These hospitals demonstrate significantly lower C-section rates and severe unexpected newborn complications compared to hospitals not recognized by U.S. News.”
Carilion Women’s Obstetrics and Gynecology offers gynecologic, prenatal, maternal fetal medicine, delivery and postpartum care, along with the region’s only level IIIB NICU at Carilion Children’s. To learn more about Carilion’s OBYGN services, visit CarilionClinic.org.
