Award-Winning Maternity Care
We are proud to have received multiple awards and distinctions, including a High-Performing designation in U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospitals study. We are the recipients of a Leapfrog A-level designation for clinical excellence and have also achieved the Blue Cross Maternity Distinction Plus Designation, demonstrating our commitment to high-quality prenatal care and childbirth experiences.
We deliver over 2,300 babies in our community each year. And we’re proud to have a lower-than-average Cesarean section (C-section) rate. If you are interested in pursuing a vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC), our providers can help you work towards that option.
Specialty Care
Along with obstetricians, we are proud to include midwives on our care team at Mount Auburn Hospital. We offer the largest midwifery practice in eastern Massachusetts. Our midwives work hand-in-hand with our obstetricians and the rest of our pregnancy and delivery care team.
With the help of our midwives, we can provide you with the full range of options for your pregnancy and birth experiences, from low-intervention births to care for complex, high-risk pregnancies.
Special Care Nursery at Mount Auburn
When your baby needs special care, trust the skilled physicians and nurses at the Level IIB (special care) nursery at Mount Auburn Hospital. You can rely on experienced staff with advanced training in caring for premature or ill newborns. Our newly renovated Level IIB nursery allows a parent to stay overnight with their neonate in a private room.
If you or your baby require a higher level of care than our Level IIB nursery can provide, our providers partner with specialists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) in Boston. We are here to provide you with seamless access to the care you need.
