San Antonio Regional Hospital Named Among U.S. News & World Report's Fifth Annual 2026 Best Hospitals for Maternity Care


UPLAND – December 10, 2025 −  U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice, has named San Antonio Regional Hospital as a 2026 High Performing hospital for Maternity Care. This is the highest award a hospital can earn as part of U.S. News’ Best Hospitals for Maternity Care annual study, now in its fifth edition.


U.S. News began evaluating maternity care hospitals in 2021, rating hospitals that provide labor and delivery services and submit detailed data to the publication for analysis. For the 2026 edition, approximately 900 hospitals nationwide submitted maternity data for evaluation. Best Hospitals for Maternity Care ratings are intended to assist expectant parents, in consultation with their prenatal care providers, in making informed decisions about where to receive maternity services that best meet their family’s needs.
 
San Antonio Regional Hospital earned a High Performing designation in recognition of maternity care as measured by factors such as C-section rates in lower-risk pregnancies, severe unexpected newborn complication rates, exclusive breast milk feeding rates, and birthing-friendly practices, among other measures.
 

John Chapman“We are deeply honored to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a High Performing hospital for Maternity Care. This designation reflects the level of excellence our providers and clinical care teams bring to every birth experience. Providing safe, evidence-based maternity services for our growing community is a responsibility we take to heart. And at a time when many facilities in our region are making the difficult decision to close their maternity units, San Antonio is moving forward with construction of a new, state-of-the-art maternity department to continue meeting the needs of families for years to come.”
— John Chapman, President & CEO

“Hospitals designated as a U.S. News Best Hospital for Maternity Care are national leaders. This recognition means they are consistently hitting crucial patient safety benchmarks compared to other hospitals,” said Jennifer Winston, Ph.D., health data scientist at U.S. News. “It's a clear signal to expectant parents about where the highest standards of care are being practiced – when parents see this designation, they can be assured they are choosing a hospital dedicated to exceptional, evidence-based maternity care.”
