Where to Give Birth in Michigan (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.
Michigan has 81 hospitals in CMS’s Care Compare data that provide labor and delivery care, spread across 73 cities. This page compares those hospitals using CMS’s Birthing-Friendly designation and its overall hospital star rating. Forty-four hospitals in Michigan were excluded from this page 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 a severe-maternal-complication rate in its current data release, and that is true nationwide, not specific to Michigan, so this page cannot show either number for any hospital listed here. 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 Michigan.
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).”
