Quality Care, Close to Home
Each year, about 1,200 babies are born at St. Luke's Hospital, entering the world with their mother's hard work and the attentive care of our physicians, midwives and obstetrical nurses. Because our close-knit labor and delivery team works cooperatively, we understand each other well and can quickly put a laboring mother at ease. We are proud of this teamwork, which is reflected in our low rate of cesarean birth and episiotomy rates.
Consider these statistics:
- Our cesarean birth rate is among the lowest nationwide (13.5% compared to national standard of 27.6% according to the National Center for Health Statistics)
- Our episiotomy rate is among the lowest nationwide (8% compared to national standard of 19%)
