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’s true nationwide, not specific to Montgomery, 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 Montgomery.
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).”
