FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital has received recognition for their services to the community after being named on the first ever Best Maternity Hospitals list created by Money Magazine and The Leapfrog Group. 

“We are incredibly proud to be recognized among the top maternity hospitals in the country,”

said Chief Executive Officer for FirstHealth of the Carolinas Mickey W. Foster in a press release.  “This recognition highlights the longstanding commitment of our Women and Children’s team to

provide the highest quality obstetrical care to our patients and families.”

Moore Regional Hospital is one of 259 hospitals on the list, which is comprised of hospitals that provide care for uncomplicated and high risk pregnancies and deliveries, and some that offer neonatal intensive care units. To qualify for the list, eligible hospitals were required to carry an A or B letter grade on The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assessment for spring 2022. Hospitals were also required to meet criteria specific to providing high-quality maternity care. 

The hospital recently underwent a $5 million renovation to increase the number of maternity

triage and labor and delivery rooms.

According to leaders with FirstHealth, this recognition comes as the Moore Regional Hospital continues to see an increase in the number of births throughout the years. 

“We delivered more babies during the month of September this year than in any month before,”

said Administrative Director of Women and Children’s Services Beth Tabor in a press release. “Our team is thrilled to be recognized for the delivery of high-quality maternity care. Having a baby is a very special moment in a family’s life, and our staff and providers are committed to providing superior care to the patients and families that come to us.”
