Loma Linda University Children's Hospital (LLUCH) has been honored as one of America's Best Maternity Hospitals 2025 by Newsweek in partnership with Statista Inc., recognizing the facility for its excellence in providing care to mothers, newborns, and their families. The recognition was based on a nationwide survey of medical professionals, key performance indicators, and patient survey results.
“This recognition shows our dedication to our community’s families and our commitment to ensuring that each expectant mother and newborn receives outstanding support before, during, and after the birthing journey,” said Peter Baker, senior vice president and administrator of Loma Linda University Children's Hospital.
LLUCH provides moms and babies with comprehensive pregnancy, labor, and delivery care in a service area that covers several counties throughout Southeastern California, and delivers quality and compassionate maternity care in the San Manuel Maternity Pavilion, which opened in August 2021. The hospital provides comprehensive labor and delivery services with a delivery rate exceeding 4,000 babies each year. It is equipped to handle low-risk and high-risk births with specially designed operating rooms, including C-section facilities and a Level IV neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
LLUCH has been recognized with this honor each year since the designation was created four years ago. The complete list of recipients is available online and at newsstands nationwide.
