Nearby hospitals: maternity outcomes

A comparable Leapfrog measure is the low-risk, first-birth cesarean rate. Lower is generally preferable for this specific measure, but does not determine the best hospital for every pregnancy.

North Central Bronx
30.3%
Jacobi
34.3%

NYC Health + Hospitals/North Central Bronx: 30.3% low-risk cesarean; 0.2% episiotomy; 981 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.

NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi: 34.3% low-risk cesarean; 1.1% episiotomy; 1,799 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.

Published Leapfrog hospital-level maternity measures; not individual midwife outcomes. Reporting periods and patient mix may differ.

Mabel Estimates are scenario-based, not personalized benefits calculations. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers describe broad cost-sharing levels, not fixed maternity prices. Individual coverage and clinical credentials should be confirmed directly before booking.
