10 counties record births with no confirmed delivering hospital, covering 3,640 births. As on the national page, this describes where facilities sit relative to where births are recorded by residence — not access to care.

Hospitals with obstetric services

117 New York hospitals reporting an obstetric service status. Facilities confirming they do not provide labour and delivery are excluded from this table and counted on the national page.

Birthing Friendly is a CMS designation reflecting a hospital's attestation to participating in a perinatal quality improvement collaborative and implementing recommended safety practices. It records reported structure and participation. It is not an outcome measure, and CMS published no obstetric outcome scores at all for 2024 — see the blackout.

A limit we will not cross. Nothing on this page links a clinical outcome rate to a legal claim. Adverse-event rates measure medicine. Litigation measures a legal process. They are different quantities, they are collected by different agencies for different reasons, and correlating them would be the fastest way to publish something false. Where we present clinical data and legal data together, it is to describe a market — never to imply that one causes, predicts, or justifies the other.
