Where to Give Birth in California (2026): Hospitals Compared with CMS Data
Data as of 2026-08-13 (CMS hospital data); 09/30/2025 (patient-experience survey end date). Hospital quality & Birthing-Friendly data: CMS Care Compare, released 2026-08-13. Patient-experience data (HCAHPS): CMS, survey period 10/01/2024–09/30/2025. This page does not update automatically — see “How we built this page” below for the refresh cadence.
Medical disclaimer. This page compares publicly reported federal data. It is not medical advice and is not a recommendation of any hospital, provider, or birth plan. CMS does not currently publish a hospital-level cesarean-delivery rate or severe-maternal-complication rate, so this page cannot show either — no other source on this page fills that gap. Talk to your OB, midwife, or family doctor about which hospital is right for a specific pregnancy, especially a high-risk one, and ask directly about the hospital’s neonatal/NICU level of care.
California has 219 hospitals that provide labor and delivery care, spread across 162 cities. This page compares those hospitals using CMS’s Birthing-Friendly designation and overall hospital star rating. California’s CMS data also includes 95 hospitals that were excluded from this comparison because CMS’s current data marks them as not providing inpatient labor and delivery care.

What CMS does not tell you
CMS has not published a hospital-level cesarean-delivery rate or severe-maternal-complication rate in its current data release, and that is true nationwide, not specific to California, so this page cannot show either number for any hospital listed. A state-level NICU or perinatal level-of-care listing is also left off this page because it could not be verified against a current, authoritative source for California.
How we built this page
This list was built by filtering CMS Hospital Type to Acute Care Hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals, then excluding any hospital whose CMS Maternal Morbidity Structural Measure (SM_7) is marked “Not Applicable (does not provide inpatient labor/delivery care).”
