U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice, has named Huntington Health as a 2025 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.

“We are incredibly proud to be named one of the Best Hospitals for Maternity Care by U.S. News & World Report for 2025,” said Jinhee Nguyen, DNP, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, chief nursing officer, Huntington Health. “Huntington Hospital has been the preferred place for childbirth across generations of families in the San Gabriel Valley. This recognition is a true reflection of the deep commitment of our nurses, physicians, and staff to the safest and healthiest birth experiences for mothers and babies.”

Best Hospitals for Maternity Care assist expectant parents, in consultation with their prenatal care team, in making informed decisions about where to receive maternity services that best meets their family’s needs.

Huntington Health earned a High Performing designation in recognition of maternity care as measured by factors such as severe unexpected newborn complication rates, birthing-friendly practices and transparency on racial/ethnic disparities, among other measures.
