Desert Regional and JFK Memorial Named to California’s Maternity Care Honor Roll

Two Coachella Valley hospitals have earned statewide recognition for their dedication to maternity care. Desert Regional Medical Center and JFK Memorial Hospital have been named to California’s Maternity Care Honor Roll for meeting key maternal health standards over the past year.

Desert Regional has achieved this distinction for the second consecutive year, a testament to its continued excellence in maternal healthcare. The recognition is based on five essential maternal health metrics, including C-section rates and surgical outcomes. Both hospitals attribute their success to extensive training, collaboration, and participation in statewide quality initiatives aimed at improving maternity care.

With maternity care being a critical component of healthcare, the honor highlights the dedication of medical teams working to ensure safe and healthy deliveries. Many mothers form strong bonds with their healthcare providers during childbirth, making quality maternity care even more significant.

The Coachella Valley is fortunate to have these hospitals leading the way in maternal health, providing expectant mothers with top-tier care and ensuring better outcomes for both moms and babies.
